Marion Priscilla Ramos, 94, of Peoria, passed on to our Lord God with the prayers and support of her Family, Tuesday, October 4, 2016 at the OSF Richard L. Owens Hospice Home.
She was born May 23, 1922 near Loretta, North Dakota, the daughter of Paul and Marie Berg Paulson. She married Phil Primetivo Unsana Ramos of the Philippines in 1941 who preceded her in death in 1982.
Priscilla is survived by her two children, Phil P. (Diane) Ramos of Crawfordsville, Indiana and Rose M. (Peter) Pasquel of Peoria and ten grandchildren, Heidi, Jon, Alicia, Jason, Eric, Phillip, Maria, Melanie, Kristine, and Amy, and 19 great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren, and one sister, Geneva Larson. Their sporting, dancing, theatre performances, and faith-based activities kept life for Priscilla exciting and exhilarating.
She worked at a small food manufacturing business owned and operated by two close female friends. They were definitely a group of ladies ahead of the times. Her most recent position was at the post office in Bergner’s Sheridan Village where she worked until retirement. She traveled extensively, starting with her husband and The Royal Filipino Orchestra with ballroom gigs across the USA, and several trips abroad with family and friends.
She was a superb baker of breads and pastries and a master at creating Norwegian cuisine. Being a passionate American patriot, she served as a member of the color guard of the Women’s Auxiliary of V.F.W. Post #814. Prior to death she was the oldest member of the Congregation of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Peoria.
A funeral service will be held at Monday, October 10, 2016 at 11:00am at her Church, St. Paul Lutheran Church on Lake St. in Peoria. Visitation will commence there at 9:30am. Rev. William R. Dohle will officiate and burial will follow at Lutheran Cemetery.
Memorials may be made to the Bob Michael VA Community Based Outpatient Clinic, 7717 N Orange Prairie Rd, Peoria, 61614, and St. Paul Lutheran Church.
