One of seven sisters, and daughter of Victoria Robinson Ward and Curtis Perry Ward, Lucy is credited with steering the Hawaiian Humane Society early on its formation in the early 20th century. Undeniably beautiful with a tough-as-nails attitude and an unyielding passion for animals, Lucy was truly a sight to be seen in the city. Her prowess was simply the stuff of legends. From 1913 to 1932, Lucy served officially with the Humane Society, first as humane agent—technically an officer of the law—and later as the organization's executive director. Literally armed with a pistol, a bullwhip, and a badge, Lucy tirelessly fought for neglected or mistreated animals. Horses, dogs, sheep and a variety of other abused animals fell under her protection. In fact, the Ward family's passion for animals ran so deep that the first Hawaiian Humane Society was built on land donated by Victoria Ward.
