Ernest "Ernie" Ramos

Ernie was born on November 10, 1945, to Rutilio and Ethel Ramos. He grew up in Columbus, Georgia and graduated from Pacelli High School. He then went on to graduate with a degree in business from Georgia State University. Ernie married Patricia Gilbert on July 23, 1968. Together they served their church for many years as youth group ministers and Sunday school teachers. Ernie served his country and was in the United States Navy, and later he was employed by Michelin Tire Corporation for 37 years. He was passionate about his faith, his church family, fishing, Alabama football, and most of all, spending time with his grandchildren. We mourn his passing and celebrate his life!

Ernie is survived by his two daughters, Alicia Ramos Welch (Keith); and Lori Varnedoe (Robby Pannell); his grandchildren, Shelton Smith, Ann-Kathryn Smith, Olivia Varnedoe, Lauryn Pannell, Will Welch, and Kaila Welch.
