Concepcion Ramirez

WESLACO - Concepción Ramirez entered eternal rest on January 21, 2018. She was preceded in death by her husband Paul Ramirez eight years ago. Concepción answered to Concha, Connie, Grandma, and Gigi. Concha alongside her husband worked hard to provide for her family. For 15 years she worked at Dickey's in Weslaco. She always had a grace for sewing and crafts. It was not unusual for her to sew clothes her herself and family. Her true joy was crafting and gifting the finished products to family and friends. Her home was managed with a strict hand but never lacked love. She had an answer for everything and knew how to hold her own in any situation. She loved her family fiercely and wanted nothing but the best for them. She will always be remembered as a very hard worker and as someone who knew how to get the most out of a dollar.
