Isabella R. Ramirez

Isabella was born June 22, 1942, in New Gulf, Texas to Jose Genaro Robles (Arenas) and Clotilde Cuellar. Isabella left school to marry Juan Eloyed Ramirez on July 4, 1959, and they moved to Corpus Christi, Texas shortly after to begin their family.

Isabella placed much of her focus on family and friends but was compelled to finish her high school GED and pursue a teaching career. She taught deaf children as a teacher’s aide for a number of years before retiring and returning to family life, focusing particularly on her grandchildren, but also her sewing, cooking, and shopping! Life wasn’t always easy for the growing Ramirez family, but Isabella and Juan did their best to provide opportunities and support for all of their children.

Isabella is preceded in death by her parents: Jose Genaro and Clotilde Robles; her brothers: Rodolfo Robles, Antonio Robles, Manuel Robles, Genaro Robles, and Sijifredo Robles; her sisters: Maria Louisa Gonzales, Rebecca Pena, Valentina San Miguel; her husband: Juan Eloyed Ramirez; two sons: Juan Eloy and Roel Ramirez; and one grandson: Alexander Angel Gonzalez.

She is survived by her one brother: Adolf (Helen) Robles of Victoria, Texas; two sons: Renulfo (Jo Anne) Ramirez, of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada , and Orlando Ramirez, of Austin, Texas, one daughter Irene (E. Regis) Davila, of Corpus Christi, Texas; three grandsons: Adrian (Mari) Gonzalez, Regis Jr. (Elizabeth) Davila, all of Cibolo, Texas, and Nathan Karl Newyear-Ramirez, of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; four grand-daughters: Bianca (Duwayne) Smith of Nixa, Missouri, Samantha Davila, of Houston, Texas, Angelica (Carlos) Salas, of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Risa Anne (Felix) Kampsen of Heidelberg, Germany, and ten great grandchildren: Hayden, Alexis, Brynn, Cassandra, Atianna, Bria, Charlotte, Elliot, Drew, and Luke, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dementia can arrive unnoticed, gradually reshaping lives with quiet cruelty, slowly taking away the people you know. Please be vigilant and seek medical and support help if you suspect anyone you care for might have symptoms. The Dementia Society of America and the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America can provide information and guidance. Many thanks to the doctors and staff at Conviva Senior Primary Care and Altus Hospice of Corpus Christi for their care and compassion throughout, especially Sabrina, Sophia, and Abel for their kindness and dedication to her care.
