She was born in Nix on Jan. 2, 1922, to K.E. Ringer and Gorda Lee Palmer Ringer.
Marguerite graduated from Lampasas High School and worked at Randolph Field in San Antonio during World War II. She then worked 35 years with the Lampasas Federal Land Bank, retiring in 1985.
Marguerite married Pete Ramsey on March 27, 1943, and they had two children, Billy Ross Ramsey and Mickey K. Ramsey.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Pete; son Billy; a brother, Harvey Ringer; sister, Loita Ramsey; and her sisters-in-law Hazel Davis and Nita Fay Ringer.
She is survived by her son Mickey Ramsey and wife Debbie; grandchildren Myles Ramsey and wife Victoria, and Bliss Davis and husband Andrew; great-grandchildren Byars Ramsey, Hope Ramsey, Byron Ramsey, Jacey Davis and Leighton Davis; a niece, Cindy Ringer; and a nephew, Larry Ringer.
Marguerite was a longtime member of First Baptist Church where she faithfully served. She also served many years with Meals on Wheels and Lampasas Mission.
She will be remembered for her sweet smile, laughter, breakfasts with homemade biscuits and jams, all things canned and preserved, and her lemon meringue pie. Most of all, she loved Jesus and her final wish would be that others know and love Jesus, too.
Memorials may be made to First Baptist Church or Lampasas Mission.
