Mary Ramsey

Mary Elizabeth (Gladd) Ramsey, 75, of Emlenton died Jan. 7, 2020, following a brief illness.

Mrs. Ramsey was born Dec. 6, 1944, in Oil City. She was the daughter of the late Pauleen (Gladd) Fleming.

Mary grew up in the Village of Argentine in Butler County, where she lived with her grandmother, Agatha Gladd, and was surrounded by many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

Mary graduated from Moniteau High School in 1962. She married Michael F. Ramsey of Boyers in 1964, and he preceded her in death.

Mary held numerous jobs, including working at the Parker Glass Plant for 13 years, but her true calling was helping people and she worked as an independent caregiver for the elderly during the last decades of her working life. During that time, she was greatly appreciated and loved by many.

Mary had been a resident of Emlenton since 1975, and had been involved in the Scrubgrass Senior Center since she retired.

Mary enjoyed socializing with friends and relatives and especially enjoyed traveling in her later years. Some of her favorite places to visit were Nashville, Florida, Las Vegas, Salamanca, N.Y., and Atlantic City, N.J.

Surviving are a son, Steven M. Ramsey of Pittsburgh; a daughter, Kimberly D. Saltrick and her husband, Keith, of Grove City; three grandchildren, Ramsey, Greta and Harrison Saltrick, all of Grove City; one sister, Dee (Fleming) Cathell of Baltimore, Md.; four sisters-in-law, Wava (Ramsey) Morgan of Mesquite, Texas, Elizabeth (Allen) Grossman and her husband, Bob, of Butler, Daisy (Allen) Waldenmyer and her husband, Richard, of Georgia, and SuZee (Allen) Beblo and her husband, Alan, of Cabot; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and good friends.

In addition to her parents and husband, Mary was preceded in death by her brothers, Frank and Charles Fleming; and her sister, Betty Alters
