There were seven children in the family, including a set of 4 year old twins. The family included her maternal grandfather, and a boarder.

By the 1911 Canada census, the Lucy's family had moved west to Saskatchewan, and were living in Imperial. The youngest child of the family had evidently died. Living nearby were three of the Detwiller brothers.

In the 1916 Saskatchewan census, they were living on a farm at Wood Creek, Last Mountain, and had a baby daughter, Florence Margaret, born in 1916.
