Elizabeth Blakely Lucey “Liz” Passed away June 10th, 2025, in Wilmington hospital surrounded by her loving family.
Liz was the daughter of Elizabeth Gene Lucey and the late Joseph Lucey. Elizabeth graduated from Padua Academy and from the University of Delaware.
Elizabeth’s passion was advocacy for those in the community who were underserved and needed support and understanding. Elizabeth continued to give back and help others with her gift of tissue donation through the Gift of Life program.
One of Elizabeth’s many talents was the ability to capture deep emotion with her words and writings which always left you in awe of the depth of her feelings. She shared these thoughts with those she loved through text messages, sentimental poems, thoughtful letters, cards and notes which became treasured keepsakes. This was her gift to us.
Elizabeth had an infectious laugh, loved to tell joke, was witty with a sense of humor and animation that made the most mundane event a hilarious escapade. Elizabeth loved the beach, often sharing her memories of summer vacations spent with family, friends and cousins in North Wildwood New Jersey.
Elizabeth was interested in many things, researching her Irish heritage was one she shared with her father. Elizabeth and her father often spoke of their Irish family roots tracing their ancestry from Ireland to Wilmington.
Above all else, Elizabeth’s greatest joy, her most treasured gift was her daughter Kylie. The ability to watch her daughter grow, to create memories, share experiences, form a bond… It was a dream come true
Elizabeth often expressed how grateful she was to have the opportunity to share and participate in Kylie’s life to watch her become an amazing woman, loving daughter and incredibly kind and strong person. This was the ultimate joy and blessing in Elizabeth’s life.
Elizabeth will be missed by her mother Gene Lucey, her daughter Kylie Windsor, her brothers Joseph, Mark, and his wife Jenna, her three nieces Emma, Celia, Ella, and her nephew Jack as well as her cousins and friends.
In lieu of flowers donations in Memory of Elizabeth Lucey can be sent to: St. Vincent de Paul Society c/o Church of the Holy Child, 2500 Naamans Road, Wilmington, Delaware 19810.
