Bobbie Jean Green Ramey, age 93, born, March 4, 1927. Bobbie Jean departed this life, early Wednesday morning, October 21, 2020. She was the daughter of the late Sebert Green and Mary Lee Allen. “Suga” as she was affectionately called by her parents and the two elderly women who were instrumental in raising her, Elvira Green McKinney and Dehlia Johnson (aka ‘Momma Deelie’), was loved dearly. Not only was she loved, but those who loved her deposited love, knowledge and to revere God.
Bobbie Jean accepted Christ as her personal Savior at an early age under the pastoral leadership of Rev. J. A. Myers, Gideon Baptist Church, Jackson County. She was educated in the Edna School District.
Bobbie Jean was a faithful member of the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, Pastor Fred Hobbs, until her health began to fail. Praise be to God, her faith and trust in God never wavered. One genuine gift that Bobbie Jean received from God, was that of a fervent prayer warrior. When she prayed to God, it was though the Heavens opened. She knew God and God knew her!
Bobbie Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Sebert Green and Mary Lee Allen, her extended family, Elvira and Momma Deelie, her husband, Chris Ramey Sr., and granddaughter, Sandy Renae Avery. One sister, Eddie Lee Hill, and four brothers, Robert Garley, E.W.(Earl) Garley, William Edwards, Roosevelt Garley.

A very fun and exciting memory of Bobbie Jean; she loved to dress and look pretty. She was best admired for her beautiful hats and outstanding outfits to match. Bobbie Jean loved to “dress” and SHE made her outfits look extraordinary! Bobbie Jean was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside! Praise be to God!
