MITCHELL – Surrounded by her family, Jerrie Ruth Ramey, 91, went to be with her Lord on Thursday, March 3, 2016, at Indiana University Health Bedford Hospital.

Born November 28, 1924, in Ashland, Kentucky, she was the daughter of James Gratt and Bertha Nadine (Cooksey) Crockett.  She married Walter W. Ramey April 29, 1983, and he preceded her in death in 1995.

Jerrie lived a long rewarding life in her 91 years making many friends along the way.  For the past ten years, she had resided at White River Lodge.  She enjoyed spending time with her family there watching UK basketball games and playing bingo.  When her life-long friend, Dorothy Daugherty, became a resident of the Lodge, the two were inseparable and she gained two additional daughters in Juanita and Rose.  Jerrie took great pleasure in always sharing stories about all her grandchildren.

    Jerrie will be missed dearly. I work in dietary at White River Lodge and she was the first resident I met. She told me that day that she hoped we would become good friends. And we did. I loved that little woman and will never forget her. Prayers and hugs to her family.

    Pray for the family of Jeri's Ramey. This lady was a huge part of my childhood and my mother loved her. I know they are sharing stories in heaven. Wish I could be there to hug and reminisce with those she left behind. But do to my recent spinal fusion surgery I will be unable to attend. But please know that I am with you in spirit. I love you all. Rest in heaven Miss Jeri. Please tell Nadine I love and miss her so much.
