Lexi Duncan

Oct 4th, 1993 - Mar 15th, 2021

There will be no public ceremony. 

 

   Lexi Darlene Duncan, 27, of Clay City, Illinois, lost her battle with drug addiction on Monday, March 15, 2021, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon.  Lexi had expressed her desire to be an organ donor, and her wish was remembered and granted.  Because of this, three other individuals were given the gift of life, helping bring comfort and peace to those who loved her.

   Lexi was born October 4, 1993, in Centralia, the daughter of Ashley (Phillips) Strausbaugh.  She was a graduate of Clay City High school and attended Olney Community College.  Lexi’s love of cooking and baking brought much joy to her friends and family.  This was especially true when she made pies with a homemade crust from the recipe which had been passed down by her great-grandmother, Lois, who had also taught her how to sew.  As Lexi’s sewing skills advanced, she began to personalize her work with a unique and creative style.  Lexi’s compassionate and caring heart led her to serve as a caregiver for seniors.

   Lexi is survived by her mother and stepfather: Ashley and Travis Strausbaugh; her sisters: Lacey Weller, Livey Bumgarner, and Kayhla Haller; her aunt: Kelley (Aaron) Billiot; grandparents: Earl and Sherry Phillips; and nieces: Vylet Esparza, Eriella Haller, and Amena Haller.  She was preceded in death by her great-grandparents: Jack and Lois Sharp and her stepfather: Lowell “Bum” Bumgarner.

   There will be no public ceremony.  The family wishes to acknowledge your kind and loving thoughts and gestures of sympathy.  Memorial donations are suggested to assist the family with final expenses, and these will be accepted through Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora.  To share a condolence or memory, visit: www.frankandbright.com

Lexi was in alot of the same classes with me after she moved to Clay City. She always baked cookies or muffins or other goodies for her friends. She had such a unique personality and wasn't afraid to be herself! She was down to earth and talked to everyone. Love and prayers for the family. She will always be remembered for her bright white smile, and for always making the people around her laugh. 💔

Lexi, was one of the most beautiful souls I have ever had the privilege of knowing. She was my very first friend in clay city highschool, and we remained friends all these years after. Although we lost touch for a little while, she was still so dear to my heart. I am thankful, she randomly visited me a couple of months ago. We picked up right where we left off. She was always one of the truest friends I have ever had. I will forever cherish the memories we have together. 💔
