Obituary for Ramirez


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Friday June 25, 1999

IN MEMORY God saw she was getting tired And a cure was not to be, So he put His arms around her And whispered,"Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched her suffer, And saw her fade away; Although we loved her dearly, We could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Rosalie Ramirez, 66, beloved and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, walked into the arms of Jesus, Wednesday, June 23, 1999. She was born on May 26, 1933 in Gibson, NM to Jesus and Adela Quintana who preceded her in death.
