Ana Beatriz Ramirez
September 26, 1938 – December 19, 2020
It is with much sorrow and great sadness that we announce the passing of Ana B. Ramirez on December 19, 2020. Beloved wife of Tulio Ramirez and mother to Henry (Gloria), Victoria (Nicholas), Fernando (Alexandra) and Carlos Ramirez (Hitomi) as well as Grandmother to Martin, Jaime, Lina and Danny. Ana was born in Armenia, Colombia and tragedy struck during her teenage years when both of her parents passed away at the age of 17 and she was forced to take care of her two siblings, Carlos Arturo and Maria Cristina, at that time.
Notwithstanding this hardship, it made the lifelong relationship between her siblings and their respective families that much stronger and fostered a deep love of all family relationships with her children, relatives and even friends.
Moving to Canada together with her dear husband and family, she was able to cultivate close relationships in the Liberal Party, the Arts, her Catholic friends at her church and the Latin American society in Ontario. She was a beacon of positivity, energy, vision and courage for everybody that she met.
Unfortunately, the last year of her life was met with serious health challenges but these did not diminish her positive outlook on life. She will truly be missed by many people especially her beloved children.
“By bravely enduring our trials, we learn humility, compassion and a great reliance on God.”
Due to COVID, a small funeral mass took place on December 30, 2020 followed by her interment. If desired, donations can be made to COVENANT HOUSE TORONTO, covenanthousetoronto.ca/, CHALICE www.chalice.ca/, and THE THERESIANS at BLESSED TRINITY CHURCH North York, ON. cnowakowski@rogers.com

Death notice for the town of: TORONTO, Province: Ontario
Your passing has left an enormous void in our lives. Many times a day I think to myself that I will see you or speak to you later and then it hits me that that won’t happen and I can hardly believe it. Your relentless positivity regardless of the circumstances helped sustain us through so many difficult times; I can’t imagine how we’ll get through them without you. We miss you terribly, and so does my mother. Thank you for raising such fine children. I hope you are in a place with Tulio, your parents, Pilatunes, and everyone who has passed on before you. I hope you’ll also be watching over Vicky and I.
