She had three much beloved niece and nephews –Albert Augustus Ramage, IV (Amanda), Sarah Ramage Clarson (Jeremiah), and William Joseph Ramage (Tricia). She has also survived by grandniece Ava Ramage and grandnephews Augie Ramage, Jeremiah Clarson, Benjamin Clarson, Liam Ramage, and Davis Ramage.  In addition to her family, she is survived by longtime companion Jim Shuler. She was very close with her many cousins, coworkers, and friends.
