Lucy Templeton Kellogg was the daughter of Charles A. Templeton who served as Governor of Connecticut from 1922 to 1923.

A graduate of St. Margaret's School (now Chase Collegiate), she became a trustee in 1954 and a life trustee in 1981. Although she was born into a prominent local family and married into another, Mrs. Kellogg felt that privileges came with a duty to support and improve the lives of others.

She was a generous, effective and courageous woman who fought for the betterment of Waterbury and its citizens. In 1934 she joined the Waterbury Junior League and later served as its president. During World War II, she became local Red Cross volunteer, assisting military families in crisis.

In 1945, she co-founded The Waterbury YWCA. She was the first woman to be elected to St. John's Episcopal Church as delegate to the Convention of the Diocese of Connecticut. She supported the establishment of a new day nursery center in Waterbury against the wishes of the mayor and won.

She supported the establishment of the first halfway house for female alcoholics in St. John's former rectory and in 1969 she received the Jane Addams Award from the United Council of Waterbury for her outstanding contribution in the field of social welfare.

In 1999, the Lucy Templeton Kellogg Visiting Artist Program was established at St. Margaret's-McTernan School to celebrate Mrs. Kellogg's love of the arts, Waterbury and the school.
