Miriam Ruth Ramirez

She was very proud of graduating, and receiving her R.N., from the World War II Government 3 year Cadet Nurse Program at New England Hospital for Women and Children.

Miriam met her husband of 70 years in Detroit, Michigan at Henry Ford Hospital's Bowling League. She was a founding member of St. Gabriel Parish and was a member of St. Matthias Parish since 1959. Miriam sang in the choir and could often be found volunteering for various activities at the parish. She truly was a servant of the Lord who devoted her life to loving family, friends, and anyone in need.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her step-father, Theodore Schlums; infant son, Victor H. Jr.; and grandson, Landon. She is survived by her husband, Victor H.; six children: Victor C. (Laura), Frank (Jan), Jean (Tom) Montrie, Donald (Mel), Teresa and John (Jennifer); 12 grandchildren;14 great grandchildren; and brother, Donald A. (Kris) Schlums.

A private family viewing will be held at Schoedinger North Funeral Home with interment to follow at Resurrection Cemetery. A Memorial Mass will be held at a later date when restrictions have been lifted. Donations in Miriam's name can be made to St. Matthias Church or a charity of choice.
