Elizabeth “Libby” Radecki was funny, sarcastic and kind-hearted.

Radecki, 17, of Woodbury, who died in a car crash on Friday in West Lakeland Township, also was a “bright light” and a “joy magnet to all,” according to her obituary.

A celebration of Radecki’s life will be at noon Saturday at Woodbury Lutheran Church with visitation from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday and from 10:30 a.m. to noon Saturday at the church. A social gathering will follow.

Radecki’s “bold faith and compassionate spirit led her on many adventures, missions, and journeys to meet and impact the lives of so many,” her obituary states.

An online fundraiser — started in honor of Radecki’s memory – will raise money for Camp Daniel, the church camp in Athelstane, Wis., where Radecki volunteered and “found purpose in serving individuals with disabilities, spreading love and encouragement,” according to GoFundMe.

“Though her time with us was far too short, her impact was immeasurable,” the GoFundMe post states. “She was a young woman of deep faith, unwavering devotion and a radiant spirit that touched everyone she met. Family was at the heart of everything Libby did. She was a loving daughter, sister and friend, always putting others before herself. Faith guided Libby’s every step and she lived that faith through acts of service, kindness and joy.”

Radecki, a student at St. Croix Preparatory Academy, died at the scene of the two-car crash Friday.
