National Guard Helps Lafayette Family Bring Home Daughter Killed In Car Crash

The National Guard has helped a Lafayette family reunite with their daughter who was killed in a car crash over the weekend.

Aubree Kramer had enlisted with the guard just days before a vehicle in which she was riding crossed the center line of a Florida highway, killing the 19-year old.

An online fundraising campaign and donations from the Lafayette hot dog stand where she’d worked have helped to raise money for Kramer’s funeral. The Guard paid for her body to be flown back to Indiana to be buried.

Kramer’s sister Lexy says the last few days have been filled with both sadness and kind remembrances of Aubree.

Aubree Kramer graduated from Lafayette Jefferson High School in 2014 before moving to Florida.
