Compassionate teen killed in after-prom crash on Cape Cod hoped to become a nurse
An 18-year-old is being remembered for her compassion and kindness.
Ava Lodico had been driving at around 11 p.m. on Acapesket Road when her Range Rover SUV rolled and hit a tree, then caught fire on May 17, reported. It was an hour after she left her senior prom.
She died in the rollover car crash.
'Ava was generous, compassionate and kind,' her obituary read. 'Inclusive of all those around her. She made everyone laugh with her great sense of humor and quick-witted comebacks. Her smile was radiant and she could light up a room.'
She was a senior at Falmouth High School. She was planning to attend Umass Dartmouth this fall and was enrolled in the nursing program. She volunteered for Falmouth Road Race and the Ryan Hendricks I Got You foundation.
She also loved the beach, watching sunsets with friends, dancing and attending concerts.
A GoFundMe for Lodico's family has raised more than $30,000 as of Saturday.
'She lived her life to the fullest and was the life of the party,' her obituary read.
A visitation will take place on May 27 from 3-7 p.m. at Chapman Funerals & Cremations in Falmouth. A funeral service will take place on May 28 at 1 p.m. at Cape Cod Church, which is located at 1205 Nathan Ellis Highway in East Falmouth.
