Finnley Kramer

Finnley Isabella Kramer, age 13, of Kaukauna, earned her angel wings and entered her heavenly home on Sunday, April 7, 2024. Our beautiful daughter, whose name means “fair haired fisher girl” was born on October 1, 2010, in Appleton, WI, to Josh and Betsy (Lauscher) Kramer.

Finn attended 7th grade at River View Middle School in Kaukauna. Her passion was dancing, and at the age of two she could be found dancing around the house in her cowboy boots. She loved being a part of the Kaukauna Middle School Dance team. She was thrilled to dance competitions with the Electric Dance Company. She adored her teammates and considered them family. The joy of dance was truly in her heart.

Finnley was a young lady with a beautiful soul, who was always full of kindness, laughter, love, and joy. Her inviting smile, charismatic charm, and confident nature is what attracted so many friends.

Finn enjoyed health and beauty, and was blessed with long eyelashes and hazel eyes that sparkled even without makeup. Even so, she loved trying the newest serums and concoctions and could always be found curling her eyelashes and applying the newest mascara from a trip to Ulta Beauty.

Finn loved her family, her friends, and her Starbucks. She would spend time shopping with her Mom, and certainly never without a venti strawberry acai lemonade in her hand. With her Dad, she enjoyed hunting and fishing. Even though most of the time hanging out in the boat was spent sunbathing and blasting music, occasionally she would help her father reel in a fish.

Finn loved to spend time with her three dogs and two cats, or any fuzzy friend for that matter. If allowed, she would own an entire zoo full of animals.

Finnley is survived by her parents; Josh and Betsy Kramer; maternal grandparents: John and Monica

Lauscher. She is further survived by her aunt: Val (Rick) Clarizio; uncles: Patrick (Basia) Lauscher, Scott (Jody) Walker, and Jeff (Holly) Walker; great aunt Jane (Fred) Reeves; Cousins: Cody, Zach, and Brady Walker, Jordan, Jenna, Jada, Henry, and Peyton Lauscher, along with many other relatives and friends.

Finnley was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Donald and June Kramer.

Finnley will live on through the donation of her beautiful eyes and warm heart. These donations are going to help two young girls, one with the gift of sight, and one with the gift of life.

Visitation for Finnley will be from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm on Monday, April 15, 2024, with a funeral service to begin at 7:00 pm at Christ the Rock Church, W6254 US-10, Menasha, 54952.

Finnley’s family would like to thank Kaukauna EMTs, Fire Department, Police Officers, and the medical personnel from St Elizabeth Hospital for their help through this difficult time. A special thank you to Sabrena Cortazzo and her family for their love and support, and Nikki Nienhaus for her assistance with arrangements.
