Isabel RamirezJuly 8, 1928 – February 7, 2025

With hearts full of love and sorrow, we announce the peaceful passing of Isabel Ramirez, who was welcomed into heaven on February 7, 2025, at the age of 96. Born on July 8, 1928, to Joseph and Clorinda Gonzales, Isabel was a woman of unwavering kindness, strength, and truth. She was never afraid to speak her mind, yet her words always carried the weight of love and wisdom.

Family was the center of Isabel’s world. She built a legacy of love that spanned generations, teaching her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren the importance of honesty, compassion, and resilience. She was a devoted mother to Phyllis (George) Tenorio, Sandra (Eddie) Torres, Charles (Arlene) Sisneros, and Larry (Celeste) Sisneros. 

Her love continued through her grandchildren: Celeste (Terry) Stormer, Paulette (Steve) Staffey, Yvonne (Mike) Kanocz, Larry (Sunrise) Sisneros, George (Lynne) Tenorio, Barbara (Juan) Torres, Alex (LaReina) Sisneros, Pamela (Johnny) Trujillo, Georgina (Jimmy) Theison, Charlene Sisneros, Michelle (Frank) Sisneros, Christina Tenorio, and Charles (Bobbie) Sisneros. She was also blessed with numerous great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren who had the rare and precious gift of truly knowing her, learning from her, and feeling her love.

Isabel was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Raymond Ramirez, who cherished her and treated her like the queen she was. She was also preceded in death by her parents, her siblings Tircio, Rubin, Felix, Phyllis, Ralph, and Mary, as well as her son Charles, grandson Alejandro, and great-grandsons Christopher, William, and Julian. Though our hearts ache in her absence, we find peace knowing she is reunited with them in eternal rest.

Isabel’s life was woven with deep connections. She lived next door to her daughter for many years, creating a home where love was just a doorstep away. Later, she was a neighbor to her granddaughter and great-grandchildren, continuing to be a steady presence in their lives. Her love was not bound by walls; it spread through generations, filling the spaces between with laughter and unconditional support.

Her love was a force that shaped lives, bound family together, and extended beyond her own home into the world around her. The impact of her love will continue to ripple through the generations she nurtured, in every lesson she taught, every story she shared, and every embrace she gave.

Isabel’s legacy is one of truth, love, and unwavering devotion to family. She will be deeply missed, but the warmth of her spirit will remain in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Rest in peace, our beloved Grandma Isabel. Your love lives on.
