Love you, Aunt Marie. You will be missed.
I am praying and thinking of all of you this week. I will not be able to come Thursday so I wanted to let you all know you are not forgotten. She was always great to see through the years and I am very glad to have spent some time with her this summer at Larry’s (Jamie’s husband) Celebration of Life. There is peace in knowing her struggles are over and the Ramsey wing of heaven keeps growing!!
I worked with Marie for many years at Rockwell Collins. She was a very special person in so many ways…thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, fun and kind. I remember how she always had her morning bagel to start her day at the Rock! We would walk together to the cafeteria. And even though she was a few inches shorter than me, I always had trouble keeping up with her!
I belong to a Facebook group, Eastern Iowa Rockwell Collins friends, and posted when I saw her obituary. She made many friends there.
I value the time we had together and send condolences to all who loved her.
Marie was always such a fun loving kind soul. She will be missed by many.
Marie and I were friends and neighbors many, many years ago. I cared for her and we had many good times together and then time marched on, I send my deepest condolences to her family and will hold our friendship close in my prayers and memories.🙏
