“In Loving Memory of India Victoria Oudie: San Antonio Family Mourns Loss of 22-Month-Old After Tragic Accident”
With broken hearts and unimaginable sorrow, the family of India Victoria Oudie shares the devastating news of her passing on April 4, 2025, at just 22 months old. India’s life was cut tragically short due to complications from an accidental drowning—a heartbreaking event that has left her family, friends, and community in profound grief.
India was a radiant little soul who brought boundless joy to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Known lovingly as a baby who “never cried,” she had a calming presence far beyond her young age. Her smile could brighten the darkest room, and her giggles echoed pure innocence and delight. Though her time on earth was brief, the impact she made will resonate forever in the hearts of those who loved her.
India leaves behind her devoted parents, Rudy Oudie and Angela Tardy, who cherished every single moment with their baby girl. Her beloved grandmother, Jackie Lugo, was one of her greatest admirers, always doting on her with love and affection. The entire family is navigating the unthinkable—grappling with the sudden loss of their angel and trying to hold on to the sweet memories she gave them.
Among those missing her dearly is her young uncle, Liam Hernandez, who shared a special bond with India. Though young himself, Liam looked up to his niece in wonder, and her absence has left a noticeable quiet in his world. His heart aches alongside the rest of the family, reminding us that grief touches every generation in its own way.
In the midst of this heartbreak, the family is reaching out to the community for support. A fundraiser has been established to help cover the funeral expenses and provide India with the loving farewell she so deeply deserves. The family is committed to honoring her memory with the same warmth and love that India brought to their lives each day.
India’s story is a painful reminder of how fragile life can be—but it’s also a testament to how deeply a child can touch the world in such a short time. Her spirit will live on in the laughter she inspired, the love she evoked, and the light she brought into every room she entered.
As the Oudie and Tardy families walk through this time of sorrow, they invite others to join them in remembering India—not for the way she left, but for the joy she brought, the lives she lit up, and the love she gave so freely. In her memory, may we all hold our loved ones a little tighter and never take a moment for granted.
Rest peacefully, sweet India.
You were—and will always be—deeply loved.
