Scarlett Olivia Neusel, daughter of Maggie and Kit Neusel, of Austin, Texas, was born into heaven on October 12, 2015. Scarlett was the answer to her parents’ prayers, and they awaited her birth with joyful expectation. But God meant for her entire life here on earth to be lived in the sanctuary and loving comfort of her mother’s womb. Her parents and grandparents will always cherish the short time they had to hold her in their arms, kiss her, tell her they love her, and marvel at her extraordinary beauty.

In addition to her parents, Scarlett is survived by her sister, Madison Neusel; her paternal grandparents, Edward and Sharon Neusel; her maternal grandparents, Judi Kamouie and Jimmie Parker; her paternal great-grandfather, Ken Ruddy; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins, all of whom love Scarlett immensely and share in her parents’ heartbreak.

We take comfort in knowing that our little angel will be doted on in heaven by her great-grandparents, MaMa, PaPa, Mama II, MawMaw, PawPaw, Granny, and Grandpa; her cousins, Mick and Shawn; and her Uncle Fred.

A funeral service for Scarlett will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, October 17, 2015, at Broussard’s, 2000 McFaddin Avenue, Beaumont, with a graveside service immediately following at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Beaumont.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Scarlett’s name to CASA of Southeast Texas, 2449 Calder Avenue, Beaumont, Texas 77702.
