Scarlett Noelle-Faith Ackerson

Scarlett found joy in the simple, shining things of childhood: loving her puppies and kitties, watching Frozen, playing in the water, and being outdoors. She delighted in “jeepin’,” treasured her siblings, and stayed closely connected to family in everyday ways—especially through the FaceTime calls she shared so often with her grandmas. Known for being very smart and outspoken. She was also her Aunt Allie’s favorite “Charlie” Angel.

Scarlett was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, CSM (Ret.) Thomas J. Ray; maternal grandfather, David W. Wolf; maternal uncle, Daniel "Dano" Donaldson; and puppies, Buddy and Jasper.

Ray; maternal grandmother, Tracy Schick; maternal grandfather, Kurt Gossner; Aunt Allison and Uncle Matt Adams; Aunt Courtney Stone; Aunt Maddie Davis; Uncle Robert and Aunt Debby Ray; Uncle Tommy Ray; Aunt Barbara Kremer; 6 great aunts, 3 great uncles, numerous cousins, friends, and her puppy, Olaf.
