The City of Fort Pierce will hold a virtual memorial service to honor CeeCee Ross Lyles who perished on Flight 93 when it crashed in a Pennsylvania field during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The virtual memorial service will be hosted live through the City’s Facebook page, Saturday, September 11, 2021, at 9:45 AM. There will be a presentation of a wreath-laying and will have a moment of silence at Lyles’ dedicated statue located at the Liberty Garden.

A life-sized bronze statue of the Fort Pierce native overlooks the Indian River.

In 2000, she moved to Fort Myers to pursue her dream of being a flight attendant.
