Sulema Ramirez

Sulema Landeros Ramirez entered peacefully into the presence of the Lord on Friday, April 26, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. Sulema was born March 5, 1937, in Edroy, Texas, to Rodolfo and Antonia Landeros. In 1956, she married the love of her life, Tomas G. Ramirez, and they raised their family in Bryan, Texas.

A cornerstone of her family, Sulema's life was defined by her unwavering dedication to her loved ones. She instilled the principles of faith, love and selflessness to her family and friends. She demonstrated her love through acts of service. Her kitchen was the heart of her home, and she was known for her delicious meals and baked goods, which she lovingly prepared for anyone who visited or was in need.

Sulema was a devoted mother and homemaker. Though she may have preferred to be in the background, her presence was the very backbone of her family's strength, offering support and guidance in quiet but profound ways.

Her commitment to faith was evident in her lifelong service to Santa Teresa Catholic Church in Bryan, Texas. For decades, she lent her time and talents to various church activities, including serving in the Guadalupanas, singing in the choir, cooking and volunteering.

Sulema passed on the legacy of faith to her grandchildren, teaching them how to pray and taking them to church, embodying the essence of a devout Catholic woman. In addition, her attendance at their school events, award ceremonies, concerts and sporting events reflected her unwavering love and encouragement.

She is preceded in death by her parents, four brothers, Raul Landeros, Sr., Johnny Landeros, Rodolfo Landeros, Jr., Reymundo Landeros, and one sister, Soila Gonzalez.

She is survived by her dedicated and loving husband of 68 years of marriage, Tomas G. Ramirez of Bryan, Texas; her brother, Robert Landeros (Virginia); six children, Jesus Ramirez (Kim), Nora Martinez (Peter), Maria L. Ramirez, Tommy Ramirez, Jr., (Carolina), Dede Murff (Bennett) and Lisa Badillo (Richard). Additionally, Sulema is survived by numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Sulema's memory will be cherished by her family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing her. We hold dear the hope of a joyful reunion with her in Heaven.
