Delia Sanchez Ramos August 22, 1919 – March 23, 2017 Delia Sanchez Ramos (Grandma DeeDee), beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and sister, was called to her heavenly home on March 23, 2017, at the age of 97. She was born on August 22, 1919, in San Antonio, Texas. She was a graduate of Fox Tech High School, sold Avon door to door, worked at Wolf & Marx, and retired from Sears in 1985, after 28 years. Her whole life centered around family, providing for them and taking care of them. She was an excellent cook and seamstress, and loved to work in her yard, especially growing her roses. She loved reading the daily newspaper, watching her Mexican soap operas, and was a sports enthusiast, watching and enjoying sports on television: wrestling, boxing, golfing, football and her favorite, Spurs. The only travel she experienced was to visit her daughter in Georgia several times over the years. Delia’s world was limited in miles but her love for her family had no limits. She lived on Sadie Street for 70 years, was a good-neighbor, and always proud of her home and neighborhood. Delia is preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband of 60 years, Joe F. Ramos, and granddaughter, Jennifer Gwilliam. She is survived by her son Joe Ramos, Jr., daughters, Gloria R. Easler (Wayne), Cynthia L. Segura (Augustin), Yolanda Trevino, Alicia Gwilliam (Tom), and Nelda E. Burch; grandchildren, Michelle Sanchez Elliott, Debra Sanchez Porter (Mike), Gregory Burch, Tracy Burch Hamilton (Bill), Christina Segura, Robert Segura (Allie), Christopher Segura (Katie), Amanda Kowall (Josh), Javier Trevino, Jaime Trevino, Ashley Gwilliam, and 22 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. The Ramos Family wishes to acknowledge and extend heartfelt gratitude to her caregivers, Nancy De La Cruz and Maria Marquez, for their dedication and loving care of our beautiful mother/grandmother over the past year. Visitation will be held at Mission Park Funeral Chapels North, on Monday, April 3, 2017 from 6 pm – 8 pm. A Graveside Service will take place on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at 9:30am, at Ft.
