Sharon S. Ramsey

Sharon Star Ramsey, 74, of Beecher, passed away on Sunday, August 14, 2022. She was born on May 20, 1948, in Beulah, Mississippi, the daughter of Joe and Dora (Mills) Hurt. Sharon was the youngest of six children. She spent most of her life in Texas, where she despised the heat. Later in life, she was thrilled to be living in the colder winters of Illinois and Indiana. She was a loving mother, sister, aunt, and friend; she always gave more than she ever received and never refused to help anyone. Sharon, better known as Sherry, was a vivacious, beautiful light in many lives; small in stature, with a giant heart. She was loud, funny, loving, generous, and a devout, God-fearing Christian. Sherry loved her family more than anything, and her best times were spent surrounded by them in her home, playing cards, watching old movies, and singing and dancing to music. Christmas was her favorite holiday, and giving to others brought her the greatest joy. Her husband, Raul, was the love of her life. Telling stories of their time spent together would light up her face. All who had Sherry in their lives will be forever blessed and will miss her dearly. Sherry’s legacy and love will live on in her two children, Vanessa Ramsey and Michael Quintanilla, who she loved with every breath in her body. Sherry is also survived by her sister, Joanne, of Texas. She is Preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Dora Hurt; her brothers, Son and Jim Hurt; sisters, Dale Voorhees and Lolita (Fern) Quntanilla; and nephews, Randy Nash, Michael Quintanilla, John Quintanilla, and Carter Quin. In lieu of flowers, we ask with immense gratitude that you please consider contributing to the Sherry Ramsey go fund me page that has been set up to help the family with the cost of all medical bills and other financial obligations left to be taken care of.
