Dovie attended Texas State University for 2 years after graduating from Spicewood as salutatorian in 1942. After college, Dovie and her two friends decided to travel. They traveled to Washington D.C., where they worked at the Pentagon for two years. After that, they decided to come back to Texas. Back in Texas, Dovie worked for KTSA radio station in San Antonio. While in San Antonio she met the love of her life, (Col) Foster G. Ramsey. They would spend the next 65 years together, traveling during the military years and into retirement. In 1997, she became blind. They eventually retired to the family ranch in Spicewood.
Dovie was indeed a people person, and loved to travel. She learned to make the most beautiful, elegant bead work necklaces and earrings. Always adorned with her beautiful treasures, she was often asked by admirers if they could purchase her bead work on the spot.
It was such a joy to have her. She was treasured by everyone that knew her.
Dovie A. Ramsey is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sister Leona Burton, and son Todd O. Ramsey.
Surviving her is her daughter, Joan L. Ramsey-Killebrew; grandson, Raymond V. Killebrew and wife, Tracy; great grandchildren, Jordan, Karissa, and Sydney Killebrew; and many cousins and friends.
