Ramsie Kate Baumgardner

January 13, 2004 ~ January 23, 2022

MAURICE — A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 at St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church honoring the life of Ramsie Kate “Ram” Baumgardner, 18, who entered into eternal life on Sunday, January 23, 2022 after a tragic automobile accident in Vermilion Parish.
She will be laid to rest at St. Alphonsus Cemetery with Reverend Paul Bienvenu officiating the services.
Pallbearers will be Riley Baumgardner, Ethan Wiltz, Benny Wiltz, Ryan Wiltz, Brandon Baumgardner, Brett Baumgardner, and Landon Babineaux. Honorary pallbearers are members of the North Vermilion High School Senior Class of 2022.
Ramsie was a senior at North Vermilion High School and had planned to attend the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in August. She had worked at Louisiana Cajun Mansion Bed and Breakfast and was currently working for RiverFront Seafood Restaurant. While she excelled in the classroom and participated in many school events, Ramsie will be remembered more for her joie de vivre- a beautiful soul and full-of-life ball of fire with a heart of gold, an infectious laugh, a bubbly personality, and a beautiful smile.
Ramsie is survived by her father, Brian Baumgardner and second mom, Kristi; mother and second dad, Ali and Clay Vincent; loving siblings, Riley Baumgardner, Eleanor Vincent, Kayli Navarre (Robert), Madison Abshire (Tre), and Landon Babineaux; grandparents, Iris and Jackie Baumgardner, Bernard and Molly Wiltz, Jackie Vincent, Eric and Karen Mouton, and James LeBlanc; Old Nanny, Sydney Mire; nephew, Anderson Abshire; numerous cousins, aunts and uncles; a community of friends; and her devoted cat, Bree.
Ramsie, was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother Evelyn Leblanc.
