Luella Ramsden

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Luella (Jeffrey) Ramsden at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance on Friday October 1, 2010 at the age of 79. Luella, a small woman who took up a lot of space was an influential woman who touched the lives of everyone she met. Everyone knew her opinion and appreciated her quest to always understand how machinery worked. Luella was predeceased by her husband Jack in 2009 after 58 years of marriage. In their lives together they faced and overcame a number of challenges. She was an original March of Dimes mother and she ran her own successful sewing business but most importantly she enjoyed her family and was proud of her granchildren’s accomplishments. She is survived by her children Laurie (Barb), Amy Dalton, by her grandchildren Jeff Ramsden (Sandra), Emily Ramsden Stirling (Matt), Bart McClintock (Erin), Beau Dalton and Daisy Dalton as well as her great grandchildren Peyton McClintock, Kaiya Ramsden and Alexis Ramsden, her sisters Violet Glazier and Sharon Polowick (Mike), her brothers Gordon Jeffrey (Vi) and Norman Jeffrey (Charlene) as well as many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends. Predeceased by her son-in-law Mike Dalton and her brothers Joseph (Mary), Ed (Esther) and David (Katie).
