She is also survived by grandchildren Rachel Ramsey Larobina, Andrew, Alexandra, and Noah Ramsey, as well as grandson-in-law Ramses Larobina.

Hers was a life well lived in dedication to her Lord and to her family. Her strong and loving presence will be sorely missed by her family and all who knew her. She has made her heavenly journey and now sits rejoicing with loved ones who have gone before her as she enjoys her heavenly reward in the presence of her Savior.
