Lucy Beall Candler Owens Heinz Leide (April 11, 1883 – 3 September 1962) was the only daughter of The Coca-Cola Company co-founder Asa Griggs Candler.
She was born on April 11, 1883 in Atlanta, Georgia. Growing up, she learned to play the piano. She lived with her parents at Callan Castle at 61 Elizabeth Street in the Atlanta, Georgia neighborhood Inman Park. She attended school at West End Institute. She played the organ for Inman Park Methodist Church. She attended Agnes Scott College in neighboring Decatur, Georgia.
On June 11, 1903, she married her first husband William Davies Owens. He would become an assistant cashier (a manager) at Central Bank and Trust in Atlanta, the bank that Asa Candler started in 1905. At first they lived together in her parents’ home, In 1910 they moved to a newly built home in nearby Druid Hills which would become known as The Goose. It was located at what is now 1449 South Ponce de Leon Avenue. In 1968 the home would become the Mother Goose day care center, and later classroom space for The Paideia School until it burned down in 2009. William Owens died of influenza and a heart attack in the house in 1914. Lucy suffered from a serious bout of typhoid fever.
Around 1920 she married Henry Heinz, a banker and president of Kiwanis International. Heinz was shot by a burglar at their home, Rainbow Terrace, in 1943. A black railroad worker confessed to the crime, but rumours persisted that a relative murdered Heinz.
Around 1945 she married Enrico Leide, a concert cellist and orchestra conductor, conducting the first Atlanta Symphony Orchestra from 1920 to 1930. He was the brother of violinist and composer Manoah Leide-Tedesco.
