Mr. Peter Santell Ramirez

MR. PETER SANTELL RAMIREZ, son of the late Manuel, Sr. and Jacovina Santell Ramirez was born November 19, 1932 in Bronx Lebanon Hospital in Bronx, NY and departed this life June 6, 2019 at his daughter home, Brodnax, VA.
He was raised in an orphanage as a Catholic and attended school in NY.
Peter was married to Shirley Walker and to this union twelve children were born, seven of whom preceded him in death. He was employed as a welder and painter, working for the Navy Shipyard in New York.
Peter later married Beulah Ramirez. After retirement he moved to Lawrenceville, VA.
After becoming ill he moved with his daughter in Brodnax, VA. He later became a member of Christian Antioch Church In Christ #5, Ebony, VA.
Peter leaves to mourn seven children- Gina (Arthur) Garner, Brodnax, VA; Gail Ramirez, Louisburg, NC; Jacqueline Ramirez, Greensboro, NC; Jeffrey Ramirez, Victoria, VA; Kim Ramirez, Emporia, VA; Paula Lofton-Boyd, LaCrosse, VA and David Battle, Brooklyn, NY; 18 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; 4 great-great-grandchildren; one brother- Manuel Ramirez, Jr, Queens, NY; devoted friends- the Harpers, and a host of cousins and friends.
We can look forward to the day when there will be no more sickness and death. Revelation 21:4 says:..."He [God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." God cares for the brokenhearted; Psalm 34:18 assures us that he is close to them. Please accept my sincere condolences. Always remember God loves you and he cares for you!
