She was at one time connected with the Beirut Female Seminary, and is now teaching in the Institution of Mrs.Shrimpton, under the auspices of the British Syrian Schools.
Luciya taught in Deir el Komr until the school was overwhelmed in the fires and blood of the Massacre year, 1860.
In 1862 she taught in the Sidon School, and afterwards married the Rev.
Sulleba Jerwan, the first native pastor in Hums.

In that great city, and amid the growing interest of the young Protestant community, she found a wide and attractive field of labor.

She was a young woman of great gentleness and delicacy of nature, and of strong religious feeling, and entered upon the work of laboring among the women and girls of Hums, with exemplary zeal and discretion.

She became greatly beloved, and her Godly example and gentle spirit will never be forgotten.
But at length her labors were abruptly cut short.

Consumption, a disease little known in Syria, but which afterwards cut down her brother and only sister Sikkar, fastened upon her, and she was obliged, in great suffering, to leave the raw and windy climate of Hums, for the milder air of Beirut.
