Betty was a substitute grandma to Andrew and we are so appreciative of that. She was a special lady.
In Memory of
Betty Shipman Ramage
Betty Ramage passed away Friday, February 28, 2014 in Houston after a lengthy illness following a stroke in July 2012.
Her beloved husband Willis L. “Bill” Ramage, her parents Luther and Ino Hicks, her brothers Oliver and John Shipman and one sister Jeri S. Parr preceded her in death. She leaves behind her son David and his wife Pam (Houston), granddaughters and grand-son-in-laws Abigail and Collin Taylor (Houston), Amanda and Andrew Cordar (Gainesville, FL), and great grandchildren Riley Grace (3) and Wavely Paige (1) Taylor.

Betty was born in Oklahoma City, the second child of five born to Ino and Luther Shipman.

Until her retirement, she worked in the medical field near Houston Northwest Medical Center on 1960.
Betty loved working with Vacation Bible School at John Wesley, as well as making costumes for her granddaughters many activities at school and church, and costumes for many of the events held at John Wesley – Disney Night and Walk Thru Bethlehem were just a few.
The Ramage family would like to thank the staff at Tomball Retirement Center and Legend Oaks Willowbrook for their many hours of care and attention to Betty.
A private memorial service is scheduled at a later date.
