Miss Avery Michelle Lunde

Miss Avery Michelle Lunde, age 5, of Fort White, passed away on Saturday evening, December 13, 2025 at the HCA Florida - Lake City Hospital, after an accident.

Lunde of Fort White; maternal great grandmother Margaret Wooley of Fort White; maternal grandparents, Jack & Alanna Walters of Fort white; and paternal grandparents, Blake & Stephanie Lunde of Pensacola.
