Lucy was a daughter of Sara Agnes Rice (historian & author who was for 19 years vice president-general of the D.A.R.; a charter member of the Colonial Dames of America; president of the Mary Washington Association and incorporator of the Assn. for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities), and her husband the Hon. Roger A. Pryor, a former Confederate General who became a Yankee Supreme Court Justice.
After the turmoil of the Civil War, Lucy's father moved his family to New York, settling first in Brooklyn, and later in Manhattan. It was in the latter city that Lucy married architect Arthur Page-Brown at the Church of the Holy Trinity on 25 Feb 1886.
Lucy and Arthur were the parents of four children, of which three daughters survived: Katrina, Sara Agnes, and Lucy.
About 1890, her husband moved the family to California where he had been commissioned projects by Mrs. Charles Crocker. He persuaded fellow architect Willis J. Polk to join him there, and the two worked together until 1891. (Katrina Page-Brown later married Polk’s stepson.)
In November of 1895 her husband was driving his horse and cart down the road from their home when the animal bolted. Just before reaching the bridge over a steep ravine, it panicked and veered off the roadway, taking the cart over the embankment, causing Arthur severe injuries. While largely unconscious, he suffered at home for over a hundred days before finally succumbing.
After her husband's death, Lucy returned to her parent’s home in Manhattan with her daughters, and can be found there on the 1900 and 1910 census. (It is likely during his period that her brother-in-law, the artist William de Leftwich Dodge, painted Lucy's portrait, a photograph of which appeared on page 11 of the 26 Sep 1908 edition of Brooklyn Life).
After the last of her girls married, Lucy traveled at home and abroad. She was enumerated on the 1930 census at San Francisco while a resident at the Womans' Athletic Club.
Her obituary, carried in the San Mateo Times of 14 Apr 1952, noted that she had died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Austin P. Moore, 138 West Bellevue Avenue in San Mateo. Until six months previous, she had been living in New York and Europe.
She was survived by daughters Katrina (Austin) Moore and Sara Agnes (H. Percival) Dodge; granddaughter Mrs. Harold L. Mack, Jr. of San Mateo and two great-grandchildren.
(Lucy was a childhood friend of heiress Harriet Pullman, who first married Francis Caroland. Harriet hired Wills J. Polk to manage the construction of her Burlingame home Carolands, and also hosted the 1915 wedding of Lucy's daughter Lucy Page-Brown at her Santa Clara estate, Beaulieu.
