Lucinda’s mother, Lynelle McGrath, said her free spirited daughter ‘loved the beach’ and regularly travelled from her Zillmere, north Brisbane, home to camp around the Sunshine Coast, Courier Mail reports.
She revealed Lucinda had headed to the beach on Sunday with a work colleague to celebrate her upcoming birthday.
Lucinda’s cousin Jennifer Moy described her as ‘adventurous’ and a ‘bit blokey’, adding she ‘can’t imagine’ her life without her.
Another mourner wrote on social media: ‘Rest in Peace Lucy. Thank you for providing me with your free spirited vibes throughout high school.’
