In addition to teaching, Ramberg also coached softball at St. Croix Central. After her passing, the school's cross-country team wrote "Run4Ramberg" on their arms and legs in tribute to the late teacher. It's safe to say she was well beloved.

"Thank you for being such a bright light in so many lives. We all felt your presence tonight. Your panther family loves you so, so much," the post concluded.

Meanwhile, the sister-in-law of the late teacher posted a tribute to Facebook, calling Mindy a joy.

"Heaven is now brighter with her presence," she wrote. "Mindy filled The Ramberg family with joy, love and all that is good. We hold Scott, Molly, Maeve and her family in our hearts. We will miss you so much Mindy!"

Her actual sister also set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses and medical costs.

"Mindy was everything — a devoted wife, a loving mother, a cherished daughter, sister, niece, aunt, teacher, athlete, neighbor, and friend," Karsten wrote on the fundraising page. "To know her was to love her, and that was her greatest gift to us. As we grieve, we also rally around Scott and the girls."
