Sturtevant- Lynzay M. Legois, 14, passed away unexpectedly as the result of a tragic automobile accident due to extreme foggy weather conditions on Tuesday, December 12, 2006.
Lynzay was born in Racine on August 28, 1992. She was an Eighth Grade student at St. Lucy Catholic School, where she excelled in many subjects, especially in Religion class. Lynzay was looking forward to playing “Mrs. Claus” in the upcoming St. Lucy Christmas Pageant. She lived her Catholic faith by the decisions she made in life. Lynzay’s infectious smile brightened the school every day and was a great example to her fellow students of all grades.
Lynzay was a devoted member of St. Lucy Catholic Church. She was also actively involved with the Aquaducks Waterski Show Team at Browns Lake where she and her father were a dynamic doubles duo; she enjoyed springing around on the Racine Gymnastics All-Star Cheerleading Squad (she just broke her arm last Monday while fearlessly flipping about during practice); took third place, along with her three other St. Lucy squad members at a 2006 Cheerleading Competition; dancing with the Racine Studio of Performing Arts; playing the piano; and, of course, singing with the beautiful gift she was given by God. Above all, Lynzay was happiest when in the surroundings of her entire family. May our darling Angel rest in peace. We miss you Lynzay!
Surviving are her father, Richard “Rick” Legois; mother, Patricia Hummel; step-mother, Denice Legois; sister, Tara (David Batesole) Hummel; brothers, Raymond (Stacy) Hummel and Wesley Rossal; soon to be born nephew, Landen Hummel (Lynzay was anxiously awaiting becoming an aunt); grandparents, Edwin and Helen Craw; Wayne (Rose) Legois; Terrance (Marsha) Harbin; aunts and uncles, Marion (Ronnie) Roberts, Lucille Harbin and Sharon Alberts, Thomas (Angela Reise) Legois, Andrew (Jennifer) Kothe, Dawn Kothe, Daniel (Terri) Kothe, Loni Fuller, Leann (Michael) Greenquist and Edwin Harbin; and by many special cousins, other relatives and loving friends too numerous to mention by name.
Lynzay was preceded in death by her dear grandmother, Shirley Jean (nee: Shores) Legois-Haupt.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be concelebrated on Monday, December 18, 2006 at 11:00 am in St. Lucy Catholic Church, 3101 Drexel Avenue, with Rev. Mark R. Jones, Rev. Jeffrey M. Thielen and Rev. Cletus V. Uhen officiating. A reception will immediately follow at St. Lucy School. Visitation will be in the funeral home on Sunday from 3-7 pm and in the church on Monday from 10-11 am. A private interment service will take place in West Lawn Memorial Park for Lynzay’s immediate family.
In honor of Lynzay’s great love for her God and for St. Lucy’s, memorials may be made to St. Lucy School for the Lynzay Legois Memorial Scholarship Fund which will be established in her memory.

Glowacki Family says
Rick, We are all still pretty much shell shocked over this tragedy. I can’t find any words that will make your pain subside. As a Father myself I don’t know how I would do. Until I had my own little girl our family always looked on Lynzay as the daughter we never had. She was such an amazing young lady. So full of life and that smile that I will never be able to forget. When she came to our house just a little while back, to give my daughter all her little girl toys, because she said she was now a big girl, and you were going to get her big girl toys, if you could have only see her face light up at the thought of giving Kasia her toys. We will pray for the Lord to give you the strength to endure my friend. The Lord has her now, he’ll look out for her, no need to worry. She is in the best hands there are.
Ron & Julie Roberts Jr. says
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Samantha Shipman says
lynzay was one of my best friends. When i was the new kid at St.Lucy’s, she was my first friend. She came up to me at lunch when i was all alone to ask to sit with me. Then more and more people came and sat by us. She changed my life in such a good way. I wish i could look into her eyes and see her smile and i want to let her know how thankful i am to have met her.
