Mrs. Ramsey was born January 10, 1921 in Panama immigrating to the United States in the late 1950's seeking a better life for her children. She first settled in New York City originally, but found permanent residence in Monticello due to a thriving community of opportunity at that time. Frances worked as a housekeeper at the Concord and Raleigh Hotels for many years. She also worked for Mr. Johnson of Johnson Jewelry as a presser and was a breakfast cook at the old Community General Hospital. Frances, affectionately known as "Nana" by her grandchildren and several community members, leaves many to cherish her memory.

From these grandchildren came 14 great-grandchildren. There are also a host of nieces, cousins, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law; two special nieces: Adele Goody (Leonard) of the Bronx and Nydia Bayne of Brooklyn; a special daughter-in-law; Alberta Neusuan of Monticello; and an adored daughter: Lolita McRae of Houston, Texas; and a nephew: Pastor Orlando Thomas (Linda) of Fayetteville, N.C.
