Obituary of Carmen Maria Ramos

Please share a memory of Carmen to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Carmen Maria Ramos July 16, 1938 to April 8, 2023 Carmen, Mom, Grandma, Great-grandma, Suegra, mother-in-law. All the names she had. She was born in Moca, Puerto Rico, married Augustin Miranda then moved first to the Bronx and 15 years later to Yonkers where she lived until her passing. Carmen took on many jobs to support her family but one she loved was mother to her five surviving children, Betsy, Nancy, Barbara, Edith, and David. As they grew and had their own children, she enjoyed being 'Grandma' even more. As each of her five grandchildren were born, they learned what her love was like and what it was like to be spoiled by her. They can always run to 'Grandma' if they didn't have their way with their parents, or at least they would threaten to. There were no skinny babies thanks to her. If she had her way, no skinny adults either. Carmen was blessed enough to have known four great-grandchildren and loved them as well, enjoying the pictures of their cute faces decorating her pillows. Anyone who visited Carmen would enjoy her warm hospitality that included a great conversation, laughter, great food, un cafecito, and quiet counsel when needed. Sometimes firm counsel when that was required. Her affection and love of others extended beyond her children, to include her nieces, nephews, and all extended family. She was an adopted mother figure by her children's friends and loved ones. All of whom loved her as their own, thanks to her generous spirit when they needed it most. Very much adored by her children-in-laws, all blessed to have a mother-in-law who supported their marriages and partners. Carmen was a faithful woman and trusted in the Lord, a long time member of Dunwoodie Baptist Church in Yonkers. She lived the gospel of loving others without judgement. She was both humble and noble and you always felt special in her presence. Now she is in the Lord's care, probably sharing un cafecito with him. We will miss her dearly.
