GoFundMe made for family of Cape Cod high school senior killed in crash after prom
A fundraiser has been established to support the family of an 18-year-old high school senior from Cape Cod who died in a crash after her prom on Saturday. Ava Lodico, 18, of Falmouth, died in a single-car crash on May 17. The crash happened around 11 p.m. on Acapesket Road, according to Falmouth police. Lodico had attended the high school's junior-senior prom, themed 'Garden of Lights,' which ended at 10 p.m. on Saturday. The crash happened about 10 minutes from the prom venue. In the GoFundMe for Lodico, she was remembered as 'a very loved friend, older sister, cousin and daughter to many.' The fundraiser, which has a $35,000 goal, will go to Lodico's family 'to help with any expenses.' It had raised just over $25,000 as of Thursday morning. Services were also announced for Lodico. Visitations will be held from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. on May 27 at Chapman Funerals & Cremations in Falmouth. Her funeral service will be at 1 p.m. on May 28 at Cape Cod Church, 1206 Nathan Ellis Hwy. in East Falmouth. After her death, Lodico's loved ones were devastated. 'We were all just dancing and having a great time at prom,' a friend of Lodico's, Erin Barr, told Boston 25. 'It's just so upsetting that this happened and extremely surreal .... She was just the sweetest soul to everybody,' Barr said. One of Lodico's friends, Jazzy Fernandes, said she got a call about Lodico's crash on Saturday night, the outlet reported. She tried to go to the scene of the crash, but it was blocked off, and she found out Lodico had died at Falmouth Hospital. 'It doesn't feel real,' Fernandes said. Another close friend of Lodico's, Bea Mariani, said the two had been planning their joint graduation party and just made their invite list, the outlet said. Mariani took the first boat back from Martha's Vineyard when she heard of her friend's death.
