Ester R Ramirez

Ester Ramirez, 87, of San Angelo, went to be with her Savior on Thursday, October 6, 2016 at her home surrounded by loved ones. Ester was born in San Angelo to the late, Jesus and Maxima Rodriguez on July 27, 1929. She has joined her beloved husband, Fidencio Ramirez, of whom he was the love of her life in Heaven. They were married on her birthday in 1947.

She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and was cherished and respected by everyone she came in contact with. Ester had a passion for gardening, knitting, sewing and supporting missions. She loved spending time with her family, always having a sense of humor. Ester kept her humor until the very end. She was an inspiration and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 57 years; infant daughter, Esperanza; and seven siblings. Survivors include her sons, Zeke (Jessica) and Robert (Melba); three granddaughters, Jennifer Ramirez, Monique (Fernando) Tapia, and Kimberly Ramirez; two great grandsons, Nathan and Preston Tapia; sister, Rachel Sanchez; numerous nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives.

Though she will be missed, we know that she is at eternal rest, reunited with the love of her life waiting the day we all join them in Heaven. Our family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many hands that cared for her and our family during her journey home including, Dr. Nussey and staff, Hospice of San Angelo, Meadow Creek, Regency House, family members, and those who provided meals and support.
