The fifth and youngest of the Aliminosa children, she was raised in the Bensonhurst neighborhood in Brooklyn. She then attended Hunter College High School, New York City&s public school for the intellectually and academically gifted, where she graduated with honors in 1934 at the age 16. She continued her studies at Brooklyn College, where she received her Bachelor?s degree in chemistry in 1939, and Bryn Mawr College, where she earned her Master&s in chemistry in 1943.
Soon thereafter she began work at the pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. in Rahway, New Jersey. It was there that she met fellow chemist and future husband Ralph Hirschmann. The couple married in 1951.
The couple raised their son, Ralph, Jr., and their daughter, Carla, in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. In 1973, they moved to Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, when Ralph was transferred to Merck?s laboratories in West Point, PA, to head Merck&s medicinal chemistry program.
Although Lucy left her post Merck shortly after marrying, she remained her husband's valued confidante on scientific and professional matters during his highly productive, fifty-year career as a preeminent figure in chemistry. While at Merck, he led a team of Merck chemists who achieved the first total synthesis of an enzyme, ribonuclease S, in 1969, and also headed the basic research teams that developed a number of blockbuster pharmaceuticals, including Vasotec, Lisinopril, Primaxin, Mevacor, Proscar, and Ivomec.
Lucy loved literature, history, creative writing, cats, gardening, refinishing furniture, baking, and listening to classical music, especially the opera of Verdi. Together with her husband, she frequented the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center in New York City. She passed many of her interests on to her children and grandchildren, who cherished their time with her.
She passed away on July 22, 2010 in her home in Worcester, Pennsylvania.
