Jim Ramsey Obituary

Jim Ramsey, age 75, of Conyers, Georgia, died November 13, 2024.

Jim was a proud Oklahoman, born and raised, until life brought him to Georgia. He was an active member of his community, serving as the President of the Lions Club in Mannford, Oklahoma, in 1982. Jim's sense of service extended to his faith, where he was a long-time member of the Presbyterian Church of the Resurrection in Conyers. He devoted countless hours of his time and skill to the Food Pantry Ministry of the church, and in 2018, was recipient of The Citizen Involvement Award for his contributions.

He dedicated 30 years of his life to PPG Industries, where he worked in sales before his retirement. A devoted husband, father, and friend, Jim was also a passionate hobbyist, taking great pleasure in woodworking, hunting, and fishing.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Floyd David Ramsey & Cecilia June Cleveland Ramsey; as well as his siblings, Dempsey Ramsey, Mark Ramsey and Mary Bates.

Survivors include his beloved wife of 53 years, Sandra Ramsey; sons and daughters-in-law, John Wayne & Orenda Ramsey, David Cleveland & April Ramsey; grandchildren, Zachary Cleveland Ramsey, Colbie June Ramsey, John Luke Ramsey, Gabriel Michael Ramsey, Miranda Ashley Ramsey; sister and brother-in-law, Ruth Ann & Todd Barclay; brother and sister-in-law, Billy Bob & Joanna Ramsey; many nieces, nephews and extended family.
