Gertrude Ramstrom Obituary
A graduate of Helen E. James High School in Williamsburg, MA, Gertrude went on to earn a teaching degree at what is now Bridgewater State University in 1940. She returned to Haydenville, where she pursued a teaching career in the local elementary school until an early retirement for health reasons.
Her long and active retirement was filled with pastimes that included writing poetry, newspaper articles and short stories; arts and crafts, and music. She was a frequent contributor to the Daily Hampshire Gazette in Northampton, MA until she moved to the southern New Hampshire region to be closer to her family.
She is predeceased by her parents, Harry and Ruth King; her brothers, Chester, Rowland, Frederick (killed in action in the Second World War) and Roger; and her husband of 49 years, Melvin Teodor Ramstrom.
She is survived by a daughter, Beverly Manning, and granddaughter, Lara Skinner, both of Manchester, NH; and a grandson, Jeff Skinner of Stockholm, Sweden.
SERVICES: Her Funeral services are pending.

It has been so many years since the last time I saw her, but remembering what an amazing woman she was! So very thankful for the time spent with her and Melvin with my sister when we were little girls. She was our favorite babysitter! I can still see the Lady Slippers in her yard on Fairfielld Ave! Thinking of her and her family.

ah, so many lovely memories from my childhood of Mrs. Ramstrom. She was my Sunday School teacher at one point and I was bid to write a service for the children's Easter service. Many happy hours spent at her house, gently correcting my young writing. I think of that most years as I listen to Easter sermons. Those who knew her were blessed. my sympathies to all.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Ms. Ramstrom. God understands the comfort that we need when we lose a loved one. May you confide in Him always because His understanding is beyond measure. (Psalm 147:5)
