Catherine Ramey Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hadley Marcom Funeral Chapel - Visalia on Jan. 21, 2026.
In Loving Memory of Catherine Ramey With deep sorrow, we share the passing of our beloved sister, Catherine Ramey, who left us peacefully on January 9, 2026, in Visalia, California. Born on May 20, 1951, Catherine graced the world with her nurturing spirit and boundless love for all creatures great and small. Catherine was not just a devoted animal lover; she was a passionate advocate, especially for horses. Her home was a sanctuary filled with the joyful pitter-patter of an array of furry friends. Her compassion extended far beyond animals, touching the lives of everyone she met with warmth and kindness. Catherine is lovingly survived by her partner of 27 years, John Ortiz, her sisters Marilyn Bennett and Carolyn Letizia, and her brother Anthony Letizia. Their hearts, along with countless others, will forever hold the imprint of her love and laughter.
"You will always be loved and never forgotten, till we meet again."
