She is survived by her guardians, Jill (Brian) Tretter and Reece Tretter of Huntingburg.  

Preceding her in her death are her parents; three brothers, Randy, Jack and Dennis Jackson. Along with a special sister-in-law, Janet Jackson, who took Lucy in as her own sister and a person Lucy looked up and loved very much.  

A special thanks to everyone at Scenic Hills in Ferdinand, especially those who were close to Lucy including Bert, Pegan, Chasity, and Pam.
