Marsha Kay Ramana

A daughter, sister, wife, mother, Nana, and dear friend who lived a life full of spreading unconditional love and support to her family, friends and community.
Marsha Kay (Smith) was born in Flint, Michigan on April 18, 1950 to Stephen and Alice (DeView) Smith. She was a beloved sister to Regina, Betsy, Denise, Laura, Stephen and Robert. She attended Lapeer High School and went on to earn her nursing degree. She worked as a nurse where she then met her husband, Ramana Dindigalla. They married in Lapeer, Michigan on June 23, 1973. She was fiercely and lovingly dedicated to her four children Anand (Betsy) Ravi (Rebecca), Leena and Jyothi (Dale). She adored her twelve grandchildren Taya, Alexander, Kira, Elizabeth, Risha, Tessa, Jake, Charlotte, Luke, James, Lexi and Charles. With a special place in her heart for her niece, Liz Rawling.
Through the years, she enjoyed spending time with her friends, extended family, traveling, theatre and a strawberry margarita at a good restaurant. Above all, she loved being Nana to her grandchildren.
She is preceded in death by her parents (Stephen and Alice) and siblings (Regina, Betsy, Laurie and Robert).
She leaves a legacy as a wonderful example of unconditional love and support; empathy; humility; dedication to her beliefs; selfless fighting for her family and loved ones; and creating a warm and caring house or hug for those fortunate enough to know her. She will be missed but her continued warmth is already felt surrounding her loved ones.
A celebration of her life event will be held at a later date in Davison, Michigan.
