Citrus Heights


A Heartfelt Tribute to a Life of Quiet Grace and Enduring Love

Surrounded by the love of her family and the many lives she gently touched, Beatrice Jennie Ramirez, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2025, in Citrus Heights, California, at the age of 78. Born in Sacramento, California, on September 18, 1946, to Frances and Rudolf Lopez, Beatrice was the first of several children in a close-knit family. She spent her early years in Sacramento, building a foundation rooted in love, humility, and faith. Though her sisters Sara Garnica and Guadalupe Perez have since passed on, their sisterly bond remained strong in spirit.

Beatrice lived a life full of purpose and quiet strength. She led with kindness, chose compassion, and showed unwavering devotion to her family. Through simple, thoughtful acts, she made everyone around her feel cared for and loved. She shared a committed, enduring partnership with her husband, Teodoro Ramirez, with whom she built a life full of love and shared dreams. Together, they launched Durango’s Mexican Restaurant, where Beatrice contributed her wisdom, business sense, and unwavering support. She also enjoyed a meaningful career with the State of California, retiring in 1987 as a Personnel Supervisor II, admired for her work ethic and grace under pressure.

At the center of Beatrice’s world was her family. She was the loving mother of Leonor Ramirez, Teodoro Ramirez Jr. and Margarita Ramirez Her influence extended far beyond motherhood—she was a guiding light, a trusted listener, and a constant presence in the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.Her legacy lives on through her grandchildren: Alicia Ramirez, Victoria Kershner, Joseph Ramirez, Esperansa Westray, Veronica Lavi, Benjamin Rivera, Christian Ramirez, and Gabriel Ramirez; and her great-grandchildren: Adrian Alfi, Olivia Westray, and Noah Lavi. She is also remembered with great affection by her brothers: Marcus Lopez, Richard Lopez, Jesse Lopez, Joey Lopez, and Angel Lopez.

Beatrice had a heart full of generosity and a spirit rooted in empathy. She never missed a special moment—birthdays, holidays, weddings, or the quiet times when someone simply needed a kind word. Her cards, gifts, and thoughtful check-ins were gentle reminders that she was always thinking of others. Her love and concern were constant, her presence reassuring. Her joys were found in the little things that brought people together—spending time with family, decorating her home for every holiday, sharing laughter on amusement park rides, and immersing herself in crime dramas and suspenseful films. Her home was filled with warmth, tradition, and the comfort of being truly known and loved. Beatrice led by example, instilling in her family values that shaped generations: compassion, unconditional love, integrity, patience, resilience, humility, and the belief that family is the foundation of everything. These principles continue to live in those she nurtured, guided, and cherished.

Though her presence was gentle, her impact was profound. Beatrice Jennie Ramirez showed us the strength of quiet leadership, the power of unconditional love, and the beauty of a life lived in service to others. Her memory will live on in every family gathering, in every act of kindness, and in the hearts of those who carry her love forward.

Her life reminds us that some of the most extraordinary legacies are built not in grand gestures, but in the consistent, unwavering love we share with each other each day.
