Mary Frances Imperial Ramsey, 65 of Brookview Dr., Bridgeport, passed away Sunday evening, February 11, 2007 at her residence following an extended illness. She was born December 16, 1941 in Clarksburg, a daughter of the late Joseph A. and Mary Theresa Pandora Imperial.
Her husband of 45 years, Bernard C. Ramsey, Jr. whom she married May 12, 1961, and one son Dr. Michael C. Ramsey of Columbia, MD, survive her.
In addition to her parents, four brothers and one sister preceded her in death.
Mary attended Catholic Schools for the first eleven years of her education, and ultimately graduated from Washington-Irving High School with the Class of 1959. Beginning at age 16, she was employed by Parson-Sauders and finally by Stone & Thomas Department Store in downtown Clarksburg as a Sales Associate until her retirement in 1987.
She was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Stonewood.
She and her husband traveled extensively and she was particularly fond of visiting anywhere seashores could be found. One of her favorite pastimes in life was shopping. She knew many of the great malls and shopping centers and always liked visiting the Boston, Atlanta and Philadelphia areas.
Above all else, Mary will be best remembered for her love of family. Her family was the single most important thing in her life. A dedicated wife, mother, sister and friend to all, she will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00 AM Thursday at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Stonewood with Reverend John S. Ledford as celebrant. Interment will follow in Holy Cross Cemetery, Clarksburg.
