Obituary
Patricia “Patty” Ann Ramage Webb, 78, of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, returned to her heavenly home on June 21, 2016. Born July 11, 1937 in Bluefield, West Virginia, she was preceded in death by her parents, Francis Mildred Painter Ramage and Robert Eugene Ramage, Sr. and a child, Michael Stephen Webb. Patty graduated from Beaver High School in Bluefield, West Virginia in 1955, where she was the head majorette and had the distinction of being the Homecoming Queen twice. Her favorite club was a service club, the “Last Miler” in which she founded a Christian Sunday School class for deprived children in Bluefield. She graduated from Concord University, Concord, West Virginia in 1960 with a major in Physical Education/Health and Art. She was the head majorette at Concord and was Miss Concord University from 1956-1957, representing the college in the Miss West Virginia Pageant, the precursor to the Miss America Pageant. Patty taught physical education for 30 years in West Virginia, Virginia, and Florida and was awarded the honor of “Teacher of the Year”. Twenty of those years she worked with the school dance teams. She also taught aerobics at Orange State College. She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held various teaching and leadership positions. She was active in the women’s Relief Society organization and served the children in the Primary. Patty was always serving others because she believed that “when ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God.” She is survived by many who love and miss her: Her husband, Charles “Charlie” Calvin Webb. They were married May 31, 1957 and just celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. Her children: Cheryl Lynn Newman and Charles Robert Webb. Grandchildren: Heather Eckman Russell, Kenneth J. Eckman, Shawn Patrick Eckman, Rebecca Lynne Webb, Rachel Leigh Webb. Great-grandchildren: Scott Russell, Aden Russell. Brother: Robert Eugene Ramage, Jr, of Princeton, West Virginia. “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.” Proverbs 31.

Patty and I met in 5th grade when I entered Ramsey and were friends and colleagues from then on. We did tap dancing together for years and were on the same cheerleading squads. We double dated and generally had lots of fun together. Patty was always a very special girl, and obviously grew into a very special woman. She is now with her God, where I hope to meet with her again, in time. God bless you all and grant you comfort and peace. With deepest sympathy for your loss...

The picture of Patty brought back many fond memories. She was so warm and friendly, and what a talented majorette. I enjoyed reading about her career after college, and was delighted that she had led such an active, fulfilling life.
