Francisca G. Ramirez , lovingly known as Mama,Grandma, Wela & Panchita passed away peacefully on December 26, 2025, surrounded by love.

Grandma was the heart of our family. She had a way of making everyone feel at home the moment they walked through the door, usually with food already on the stove and a warm smile. Her love was steady, unconditional, and felt in everything she did.

She was strong in ways that didn't need to be announced. She taught us how to love deeply, forgive quickly, and show up for the people who matter. Whether it was her warm hugs, her honest advice, or her quiet prayers, she left a mark on all of us.

She loved family gatherings, baking chocolate cakes, making flour tortillas, watching wrestling & family feud, doing crossword puzzle's and playing skip-bo. Nothing made her prouder than her family, and she never missed a chance to remind us how much she loved us.

She is survived by her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and countless others who were blessed to call her family or friend.

She was preceded in death and welcomed home by close family she loved dearly and now rest peacefully with them.

Though our hearts are heavy, we are grateful. Grateful for her life, her lessons, and the love she gave so freely. Grandma will always live on in us.

A celebration of life will be held on December 31, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Down's Funeral Home where we will honor a woman whose love shaped generations. Interment will follow at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Marshall. A visitation for family and friends will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. with a Rosary beginning at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 30, 2025, at the funeral home.
