Kayla Michelle Ramsey-Marsh

Kayla was born in Indianapolis, IN on August 26, 2000. As a young child, she resided in Keene, NH where she was blessed to grow and be loved and nurtured by her parents, Carol Ramsey and Marianne Marsh.

Kayla’s inner spirit extended outward in her creativeness as an excellent artist, sketching many wonderful drawings and fashion designs. She loved singing, and was an avid reader, especially tales of fictional characters.

She has a special place in her heart for cats, and also enjoyed riding horses.

Kayla will be greatly missed by many, especially her wonderful blended family including her mothers, Marianne Marsh of Chesterfield and Carol Ramsey of Tell City, IN; her brothers, Dustin Ramsey-Marsh of New Durham and Cooper Ramsey-Marsh of Chesterfield; her grandparents, Mary and Bob Hackel of Tell City, Tom and Bessie Ramsey of Tell City; her uncles, Scott Marsh and his husband, Jeff Soder of Tucson, AZ, Mark Ramsey and his wife, Jenny, of Newburg, IN, Brad Ramsey and his wife, Amy, of Tell City; her aunts, Kim Cantrell and her husband Chris, of Corrales, NM, Sonya Disinger and her husband, Bill, of St. Kits, West Indies; and her godmothers, Rachel Berube and Sybil Thomas, both of Colchester, VT. Kayla was blessed later in life to reconnect with her birth mother, Amy Castine of Winchester, NH and her brother, Christian Porter of Winchester. Her grandparents, Lee and Dolores Marsh, and her uncle, David Marsh, predeceased her.

Her family would like to extend their grateful appreciation to Dr. Elvira Isganaitis of Joslin Diabetes Center for her wonderful medical care provided to Kayla over the years. Thanks also go out to Dr. Marni Silverstein and Dr. Judy Olson of Dartmouth Hitchcock – Keene.
