At Beebe High School, she was a cheerleader, spreading that beautiful spirit for 4 years. After high school, she moved to Colorado Springs to live with her brother and sister-in-law, Milo and Eunice Moore. While working at Fort Carson, she met and married Sid Ramsey. From Colorado Springs, they moved to Gainesville, Texas and then eventually settled in Arlington. During her 30 years serving Arlington as a real estate agent, she won several awards for her dedication to real estate and served on the Board of Realtors. She was a loving mother to Cyndy and Jenny, mother-in-law to Gary and Ben, grandmother to Julia, Shannon, Kate, Ian, Anna, Malcolm and Calvin, as well as a great-grandmother of five. In her final years, she gained a loving best friend and caregiver, Martha. Her family was her life and every surviving member will carry out her legacy and miss her dearly.
