Devera "Devy" Lynn (Dick) Brescia, age 70, passed away peacefully with her husband and sister at her side on January 12, 2020, at St. Clare Meadows.

Devy was born May 19, 1949, to Roger (Crash) and Genevieve (Johnston) Dick in Baraboo. She married James Carmine Brescia on June 26, 1972, at Durwards Glen, Baraboo. They were married 47 years. They had one son, Tyler Chase Brescia. Devy worked as a nurse in many hospitals and clinics from Baraboo to Lake Forest, IL and back to Baraboo. She retired July 23, 2009.

Devy had many loving friends. She was kind, giving and loved showering people with gifts. She loved her relatives, friends, cats/golden retrievers, flower beds, pond, drives with special friend Gail Frank, and Devils Lake. She had more stamina and drive than anyone could imagine. She is survived by her husband James, son Tyler (Katie), beloved granddaughter Josie, sister Joni Mitchell, brother Dennis (Linda) Dick, niece Laura Mitchell, and nephew Ian Mitchell (fianc Brittany Lathrop).

Per Devy's wishes, there will not be a funeral but a Celebration of Life to be held at a date yet to be announce when the health pandemic is over.
