On the 3rd of April 1932 at the age of 36, Lucy passed away while living in their home at 43 North Pleasant Street, West Warwick, Rhode Island. She left two children; Raymond age 10 and Charlotte age 6. Her son Raymond later wrote of this time:

"We were a happy family in West Warwick having loving parents. I enjoyed visiting Grandma and Grandpa Stadtfeld who lived close by since Grandpa's retirement from the ministry. It was a terrible loss to me when he passed away [September 1933] since he was one of my heroes and shortly after both Charlotte and I came down with scarlet fever. Mother spent so much time attending to our needs that she became run down and she also succumbed to scarlet fever. I will never forget Dad coming to wake us up with the shocking news that Mom had passed away. This happened about a year before the discovery of sulfa drugs which could have saved her life."
