A 19-year-old woman killed in a crash early Sunday morning was remembered in her obituary as an “outgoing, lively, vivacious, young woman.”
Finleigh Dragon, of Auburn, was rushed to a hospital after her car was found overturned and partially submerged in Stoneville Reservoir. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Dragon was born and grew up in Southbridge before moving to Auburn. She graduated from Tantasqua Regional High School in 2024 and was set to begin studying nursing at Quinsigamond Community College this fall, according to the obituary.
“She was an outgoing, lively, vivacious, young woman who was sadly taken too soon,” the notice reads. “She loved her family and friends and will be deeply missed.”
Dragon loved the ocean and spent many summers with her family in Ocean Park, Maine, and often visited beaches in Rhode Island with her friends.
“She was a strong, very loving and funny girl. Finleigh was a social butterfly whose presence lit up the room,” the obituary reads.
Dragon had a special bond with her two brothers and the trio made many great memories together. She loved to thrift shop and was “quite a fashionista,” her family wrote.
Calling hours for Dragon will be held on Thursday, Sept. 4, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Varnum Funeral Home at 43 East Main St. in West Brookfield. A graveside committal service will be held the next day, on Friday, Sept. 5, at 11 a.m. at North Cemetery on Maple Street in Southbridge.
