Read More	Bob Newton Ramsey, age 83, of Lamoni, IA, was a beloved husband, father, granddad, teacher, and friend. He left this life at Allen Memorial Hospital in Waterloo, IA, on Friday, October 29, 2021. Bob was born January 9, 1938, to Ova Newton and Ruth Faye (Conner) Ramsey at their home in Miami, OK. He grew up and attended school in Miami, graduating from high school in 1955 and enrolling at Graceland College in Lamoni. After graduating from Graceland, he completed his B.S. in chemistry at Kansas State College of Pittsburg (now Pittsburg State University), where he would later earn his master's degree in physical chemistry. After a one-year position on Graceland's chemistry faculty during the 1960-61 academic year, he worked as a research chemist with the Atomic Energy Commission in Ames, IA, and taught at Park College before returning to Graceland in 1968, where he taught chemistry for the next thirty-five years. He remained active in the community after his retirement, working at Varsity Drug in Lamoni and as an EMT in Decatur County. On Easter Sunday, March 29, 1959, Bob and Jerie Gail Davis were united in marriage in Cameron, MO. They were blessed with two children, Rebecca and Gerald. They made their home in Lamoni for most of their marriage until 2017, when Bob and Jerie Gail moved into the Western Home Communities in Cedar Falls, IA. Bob was a high priest in the Community of Christ church, and served as pastor and in other roles for several congregations over the years. As a college professor, he was committed to his students, and the Ramsey home was always open to Gracelanders, whether it be for a meal, a load of laundry, or, on occasion, a place to live. Their annual Christmas tree-trimming party is a fond memory many Graceland alumni share. Bob played piano and organ and had a love for classical music, attending most concerts at Graceland and often traveling to hear his grandchildren's performances. While Jerie Gail was the piano and organ teacher in the family, Bob was also very involved in supporting piano education in Lamoni, at the state level through events of the Iowa Music Teachers Association, and in his work with the World Church Piano Club. Bob enjoyed growing flowers and watching birds. He had a love of reading, and their home was filled with books. Bob was an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation whose ancestors were relocated to present-day Oklahoma in 1838-1839. Although living in Iowa took him away from the center of tribal activities, his interest in his heritage and in present-day tribal news lasted throughout his life. Preceding Bob in death were his parents, Ova and Ruth Ramsey; his father- and mother-in-law, Gerald and Mabel Davis; his daughter, Rebecca Ramsey; and his wife, Jerie Gail, on January 9, 2021. Survivors include son, Gerald Ramsey, and his wife Vivian of Cedar Falls, IA; grandchildren, Tara Lynn Ramsey of Watertown, MA, and Steve Ramsey of Des Moines, IA; brother-in-law, Elwyn Davis and his wife, Karen of Pittsburg, KS; nephew, Victor Davis and family of Little Rock, AR; and niece, Karis Townsend and family of Cedar Falls, IA; as well as cousins and many friends. Funeral services for Bob and a memorial service for Jerie Gail will be held at the Slade - O'Donnell Funeral Home in Leon, Iowa at 2 p.m. Sunday, November 14, 2021. Burial is in the Rose Hill Cemetery, Lamoni. Arrangements were through the Slade – O'Donnell Funeral Home in Leon, Iowa.
