In a heartbreaking turn of events, Lucy Morgan, a 6-year-old girl from New Jersey, tragically lost her life in a badminton accident while on a family vacation. The incident occurred on June 1 during a fun-filled trip to Limerick, Maine.

According to an obituary shared by Lucy's father, James, Lucy had approached her mother, Bethany, with a solemn question just weeks before the accident. Expressing her curiosity about being with God and finding salvation, Lucy sought guidance from her mother. Bethany explained the concept to her, offering to pray together, but Lucy, known for her independence, insisted on doing it alone. She retreated to her room and fervently prayed to God, later journaling her love for Him through heartfelt words and pictures.

Tragedy struck when Lucy's 10-year-old brother was swinging a badminton racquet, which unexpectedly snapped, sending a sharp splinter from the handle piercing Lucy's skull. The impact inflicted a catastrophic brain injury, leading to her untimely death. Despite immediate medical intervention, Lucy's brain functioning had ceased, leaving no hope for recovery.

Described as a vibrant and joyful child, Lucy had a deep love for various activities such as Chick-fil-A, drawing, dancing, soccer, attending church, and cherishing moments with her family. Her obituary fondly recalls her loving spirit and the profound impact she left on everyone she encountered.

Lucy was promptly airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland, where emergency surgery was performed to alleviate the pressure on her brain. Regrettably, the operation confirmed the devastating extent of the injury.

Amidst the grief-stricken atmosphere, a funeral service to honor Lucy's short yet remarkable life has been scheduled for June 15 at 11 a.m. at Green Pond Bible Chapel in Rockaway Township. Family, friends, and the community will gather to commemorate Lucy's memory and support her bereaved family.

The tragedy has deeply affected those who knew Lucy, and her story continues to touch the hearts of countless others. Though her time on Earth was cut tragically short, her spirit will forever be cherished. Lucy's family and friends are united in their grieving, remembering her as an angel who brought immense joy and love into their lives.
