Baby girl, Everleigh Elowen Pearl Bressler, passed away on Sunday, September 21, 2025.
Everleigh was born on July 27, 2025, in Rockford, the precious daughter of Lucas Bressler and Deanna Finzel.
Everleigh was a beautiful, calm, cuddly baby who loved to snuggle into her parents’ arms. She was adored by her big brother Oliver, and she was teaching her toddler sister Annabelle how to be patient and gentle. Everleigh loved to take stroller rides with her twin brother, Everett, and her older sister Annabelle. Everyone who met her fell in love with her. Everleigh touched our lives and will always be remembered.
Everleigh is survived by her parents, Lucas Bressler and Deanna Finzel; her siblings, Oliver and Aiden Finzel, Annabelle Bressler and her twin brother, Everett Bressler; paternal grandparents, Mark (Barb) Bressler; maternal grandparents, Brenda Curry, Randy (Amber) Finzel; great-grandmother, Darlene Finzel and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins who loved her dearly.
