Lucy Lynn LaRue Pecchia, age 11, of Tower, MN died as a result of injuries she sustained in an automobile accident on Thursday, April 20, 2023. Lucy was born on May 1, 2011, in Virginia, MN while her parents Christopher and April (Kesler) Pecchia were listening to the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

Lucy was preceded in death by great-grandmothers Gwendolyn Larue Tibbetts, Alice Jackson, Carol Fazio, Sandra Kempf and Rebecca Foreman.

Lucy is survived by her father, Christopher Pecchia, siblings Zoey Funk and Dane Pecchia; grandparents: Patrick Pecchia, Belinda (Dave) Fazio, Gunner (Jilleen) Kesler and Mary (Jeff) Peterson; great grandparents: William (Sharon) Tibbetts, Virginia Jacobs, John (Mary Jane) Kesler and Richard Kempf; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends who were special to Lucy.

Lucy and her mother April gained their wings at the same time.

Lucy was a kind-hearted, beautiful, caring, compassionate soul who loved her family and close friends. She especially enjoyed spending time with her siblings, cousins, and best friends. During her short 11 years with us, Lucy showed everyone she knew her sweet, thoughtful, and spunky personality. She radiated love and happiness. Lucy was sugar and spice and everything nice.

Lucy was a sixth-grade student at Tower Soudan Elementary School. She enjoyed volleyball and drawing. Lucy was also a "water-baby" and loved swimming and she enjoyed her animal friends.

Lucy is now our Diamond in the Sky. Daddy loves you and you were the best sister to Zoey and Dane.

A memorial service will be held Wednesday, April 26, 2023, at 2:00 PM at the Vermilion Family Wellness Center at 1615 Farm Road South on the Vermilion Reservation in Tower, MN. A light luncheon to immediately follow.
