Ricarda R. Ramirez

Rica Ramirez lived a rich, fulfilling life filled with love, faith in God, determination, and resilience. Her sole purpose in life was to provide a good life and future for her family. Rica was born on February 7, 1930 in Vallejo, California. Rica grew up in Vallejo with her close-knit family members: Parents- Jesus & Micaela Rodriguez, Brothers- Lupe, Joe, and Jess Jr Rodriguez and sisters-Charlotte Alvarez and Julia Peña. Rica had many nieces and nephews whom she shared strong bonds. She resided in Vallejo for the majority of her life and lived in Marysville California and Jalisco Mexico for some time. Rica is survived by all her precious children- Lydia Ramirez, Ramon Ramirez, Roberto Ramirez (Steve Murphy), Helen Ramirez, and Micaela Ramirez-Hasme (Sonny Hasme). Rica has five beloved grandchildren- Robert Pereira Jr, (Taurra), Vanessa Pereira, Esme Ramirez, Maya Hasme, and Ricardo Hasme. Rica will have her first great grandchild in June 2024 named Logan! Rica was a strong, independent woman juggling parenthood and her career in health care and education. Rica’s primary profession was as a teacher for Vallejo Unified School District various schools in Vallejo- Farragut, Springs Town, and St Basil’s. This career spanned 30+ years and she retired at age 70. Her former students still ask about her and share stories how she positively impacted their lives. Rica lived to age 94 years old, because she was always driven to maintain good health and enjoyed exercising (Zumba classes at the senior center), Curves Circuit Training, and walking with close friends at the Vallejo Waterfront. Lastly, our beloved mother and grandmother will be missed. We are grateful and find comfort that she lived a long, rich life full of love, many adventures, and many strong relationships. As her children and grandchildren, it was an honor to provide her with care when she needed assistance and to give back what she gave us all our lives. Her faith in God is the foundation that sustained her throughout her life and especially during the last years of life. Thank you Mom, Grandma, Abuelita for your love, guidance, and prayers. Rest in peace with your “Holy Father, Holy Dear Lord”. Private family services will be held. Inurnment will be at All Souls Cemetery, Vallejo. Arrangements entrusted to the direction and care of Twin Chapels Mortuary, Vallejo (707) 552-6696. www.TwinChapelsMortuary.com
