Life Story
Lucy Jane Duersch, age 6, passed away at home on Saturday, September 23, 2017. Lucy battled Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a pediatric brain stem tumor, for 13.5 months.
Lucy was born in Bellingham, WA on March 17, 2011, to Paul and Victoria (Key) Duersch. She was in 1st grade at Irene Reither Elementary. She had a naturally happy disposition from birth and was rarely seen without a smile. Lucy loved life and found joy in nearly everything. She loved to tell jokes, give gifts, sing, and have dance parties. She brightened the lives of all who met her.
In addition to her parents, Lucy is survived by her siblings Benjamin, Rhett, Ellinor, and Henry.
Lucy’s family is very thankful for the care she received from her incredible doctors and nurses at Seattle Children’s Hospital and UW Medical Center. She could not have been in better hands. Thanks also to the local community, as well many kind people around the world, for the outpouring of love and support for the family throughout the past year.

no words of comfort at this moment, but God is with you and your family, God will give you paz
I read about your loss and wanted to extend my condolences. The grief experienced may seem unbearable at times but God(Psalm 83:18) heals the broken hearted, Psalm 147:3. May He give comfort, strength and peace to you as we await the day when Jesus calls for those in the memorial tombs to come out, John 5:28,29.
