ORPHAN baby Lucy Schollbach has lost her brave fight to live on the same day of her parents' funeral.

After a 22-day battle, Lucy passed away at 1am (AEST) in her humidicrib in the neonatal ward of the Royal Hospital for Women.

The couple had been driving home from visiting Lucy, who was born 12-weeks premature and weighed 1.3kg.



Their V8 Ford ute was ripped in half after crashing into a light pole on Captain Cook Drive at Kurnell.



Wakes are being held for Mr Schollbach and Ms James this afternoon.



The families are organising a funeral for baby Lucy.
