'Mentioned in brother, James B. Ramsey obituary 2014:'

James B. “Jim” Ramsey, 79, of Barberton, formerly of Sterling, died Jan. 18, 2014, at Barberton Citizens Hospital following a long period of declining health.

Jim was born on June 4, 1934 in Clay County, W.Va., to the late Roy E. and Chessie B. (Taylor) Ramsey and married Wanda C. Harrah in 1953. Wanda died on Jan. 7, 2005. He later married Faye Daniels on Aug. 2, 2012 in Barberton.

He served in the United States Marine Corps and then in the Air Force, stationed in Japan during the Korean War. He returned to the states and worked as a water systems operator for Rittman Paperboard for 47 years, retiring in 2000.

Jim was a life member of the Wadsworth Eagles and a former member of the Barberton Moose. He enjoyed fishing and camping, and in his later years he liked playing Texas Holdem online. He will be remembered for his sense of humor and greatly missed by his family and friends.

Surviving are three sons, James A. Ramsey, of Medina, Robert H. (Janie Petit) Ramsey, of Wooster, and Timothy L. (Jewell) Ramsey, of Princeton, W.Va.; two daughters, Debbie J. Pamer, of Wadsworth, and Tawnya L. (Carl) Krahenbuhl, of Creston; 17 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; four brothers, Mike Ramsey, of New York, Burnell Ramsey, of North Carolina, Larry Ramsey, of West Virginia, and David Ramsey, of Georgia; one sister, Bonnie Price, of West Virginia; and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to his first wife, he was preceded in death by three brothers, Robert, Damon, and Dana; and five sisters, Vita, Oleda, Juanita, Thelma, and Roma.

Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society, 525 N. Broad St., Canfield, OH 44406-9274.
