Robert "Bob" Ramaley

November 4, 1925 - September 11, 2019

Robert David Ramaley “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10. Born November 4, 1925 — went home September 11, 2019. It’s how the dash was lived that really matters.

Born the youngest of 5, he was a survivor. He survived the depression, a world war, 2 packs a day for almost 40 years, previous bouts with cancer and five children. Thanks Dad! He served in the U.S. Army from 1944 to 1946. Of the many accomplishments in life he was most proud of his Combat Infantry Badge, awarded the Bronze Star Medal and his 5 children, their spouses, children and grandchildren, into whom he poured his love and knowledge.

He is survived by the love of his life, Jane; his children, Mark (Roxanne), Anne (Tim) Treick, Sara (Wiley) Cress, David (Lende) and Michael (Heather); grandchildren, Ryan (Bridgette), Chad (Patty), Neysa (Dave) Childress, Amanda Treick, Hannah (Ian) Irwin, Scott Cress, Rachel Cress, Pamela (Ava) Suafali, Amanda Cardoso, Alisha (Mike) Kunkel, Thomas (Kelsey), Emma Ramaley, Joseph Ramaley; numerous great grandchildren and even a great- great grandchild.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Howard and Ella (Rasmussen); brothers, David and Howard; sisters, Margretta and Elizabeth; and grandson, Robert Cress.
