                                                Santos “Grace” Graciela Ramos Carrizales

Grace Carrizales, 83, passed away peacefully on 11 March 2019 at Special Care Unit in the Long-Term Care Center at Cody, Wyoming.  Grace passed on to be with the love of her life, her husband, Felix Carrizales.

Grace was born on the 2nd of October 1935 in Mission, Texas to Jose Ramos and Cesaria Garza.

In 1950, the same year that the Carrizales family- Esteban & Camila (Garcia) Carrizales came from Texas, so did the Ramos family- Jose & Eloisa (Ochoa) Ramos. Felix met Grace Ramos while her family was working for Roland Earhart. The couple was married three years later on 12 August 1953 in Powell, Wyoming.

Grace is survived by her children: Lydia (Doug) Cauffman; Dianna (Mark) Wiles; Martha (Paul) Rasmussen; Felix (Cindy) Carrizales; Norma (Keefe) Anderson; Carole Edwards (daughter-in–law) and daughter Sandra. She is survived by brothers: Librado “Henry” (Cookie) Ramos, Augustin “Woody” (Estella) Ramos, Antonio “Tony” (Tina) Ramos, brother-in – law Florencio “Chon” (Nancy) Carrizales. Her sisters: Gloria (Chano) Mancha, (Sister-in-law) Fina Ramos, Guadalupe “Lupita” (Guadalupe) Mendez, Salome Ramos, Adriana Ramos, Brother-in-law, Octavio “Tavo” Alaniz, sister-in-law’s’; Eustolia DeLeon, Esperanza Flores, and Francisca “Fran” (Randy Burke) Treviño and 24 grandchildren and 51 great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Grace was preceded in death by her husband Felix Carrizales, her son Robert Carrizales, her baby daughter Christina Carrizales, her parents Jose Ramos, Cesaria Garza, Eloisa Ochoa, Esteban Carrizales, Camila (Garcia) Carrizales, her 3 brothers, Roberto and his wife Romula (Peña) Ramos, Joe Ramos, and Andres Ramos and her sister-in-law’s; Susie (Zepeda) Ramos, Irma (Carrizales) Alaniz and brother-in-law Feliciano DeLeon.

Grace was the inner strength of our family and was always tending to our needs. She showed unconditional love to her family and friends. She was remarkable and loving wife, daughter, sister, mother and grandmother. She could often be found in front of her stove diligently making tortilla after tortilla or in her garden tending to her beautiful marigolds, petunias, geraniums and pansies. Grace was diligent in all that she did. When she wasn’t cleaning or tidying up, she was cheering her grandkids on during their sports, school, and church events. One of the things we will remember about Grace is her great Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Her faith was one of the things that we have learned from her. We cherish and are so grateful for her for that love and faith.   Those close to her will be forever blessed by her generosity, kindness and love.  She was a great example of love and service. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

The Family would like to especially thank all who cared for Grace in the final years of her life, particularly the Special Care Unit in the Long Term Care Center in Cody, Wyoming.

Pallbearers will be: Charles, Samuel, Jonathan, Ryan Cauffman, Michael Rasmussen, Nicholas, and Nathan Carrizales and Honorary Pallbearers: Wayne Cauffman & Matthew Rasmussen.
