A rarity nowadays. But every once in a while, you come across that couple that you admire, that you still see in love, touching each other, and admiring each other. And after sooo many years together, they still had that spark and desire to do and be for each other unconditionally. That true love that after spending most of their life together, they reunited in the afterlife together, at the same time or close to the same time, but together.<\/p>\n<p>This is the story of Carmen L. &amp; Victor V. Ramirez. What God united, no-one and nothing could keep them away from each other, or divide them. They were together for 69 years, married for 64, and Carmen passed peacefully with Victor at her side, still holding his hand. And now they are REUNITED again!<\/p>\n<p>On May 28, 2025, at 94, Victor (Shorty) Ramirez departed from this physical world to reunited with his one and only love Carmen who at 84 passed away on June 30, 2024. Victor was the beloved son of Martin and Gregoria Ramirez, sibling to Lupita Andaverde, Remigio Ramirez, Rudy Ramirez, Mela Garcia, and Ninfa Orosco. Carmen Ramirez was affectionately known to her parents, Emilio and Ofelia Lopez, as \u201cNena\/Baby.\u201d She was born in Brownsville, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Victor lived a life full of generosity and purpose. At the age of 5, Victor entered the cotton fields of Southern Texas and began a life of labor. He was born in Edcouch, Texas, he migrated to Williston, Ohio in 1948 in search of a better life and opportunity at the age of 17. One and a half years later in 1950, he started working with Norfolk and Southern Railroad. He retired 43 years later. According to his family, \u201cIt is in the dash between 1948-2025\u201d that their incredible love story unfolds. Victor met the love of his life in a 4-second glance into the back of Carmen\u2019s dad\u2019s brand-new shiny red truck while on a break cleaning rail-road switches on Consaul Street near Coy Rd. in Oregon, Ohio. According to Victor, it was \u201cthese 4 seconds\u201d that would change his life for the next 70 years in ways he never dreamed of.<\/p>\n<p>Carmen, according to their son Martin, \u201cwas of a generation of servant lovers, leaders, and workers. She took her role as a wife serious. From the very first meal she cooked for Victor at 119 Whitmore Ave., off of Front St., she showed him how much she loved him by cooking.\u201d Even though, according to her family, \u201cshe over salted the Mexican rice,\u201d Victor would still ask for a second helping. And, when Carmen became a mother, well, she served her children with that same love. Her children and her husband always came first. According to her sons, even \u201cat the cost of her own health.\u201d According to Martin and Hector, \u201ctheir mom was a different breed. There were no vacations to the Bahamas with their girlfriends, there were no weekend getaways to wineries. God knows she and her sisters could have used them and most definitely deserved them\u2026 She was there day in and day out for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carmen spent many of her years helping migrant workers assimilate to life in Northwest Ohio, never forgetting her roots. She worked for years at the National Bakery in the Old Hungarian Neighborhood, affectionately known as &#8220;Honky Town.&#8221; She clothed the poor and fed the hungry in the neighborhood. Even when her family was tightening their belts, no one in her family dared to complain. Carmen ran PTA meetings for Birmingham Grade School and cooked for wrestling tournaments for Waite High School. Carmen took $1.50 worth of meat and made 25 neighborhood kids smile with a homemade flour tortilla burrito clenched in their little hands.<\/p>\n<p>Carmen was even there at the very beginning with Victor to support the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC), the migrant farm worker labor movement. Victor and Carmen were one of the original 9 community members who attended one of Baldemar Velasquez\u2019s first FLOC meetings in 1967. According to his children, \u201cThe day before dad passed in his sleep, he called his sons to remind them of Tuesday night\u2019s FLOC meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Victor was equally proud of being a union member and cherished his family above all and had many of them to cherish. He is survived by his children: daughter Hilda (Patrick) Martin, sons: Hector, Earl, Martin (Missy), Jerry (Michelle), Emilio (Sarah), and Honorable Mentioned, Renee. His grandchildren: Tiffany, Xavier, Marie, Dominic, Austin, Marissa, Larissa, Aubrey, Aleah, Alyse, Mario, Christian, Melinda, Olivia, and six great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n<p>The family will receive friends for Victor at Eggleston Meinert &amp; Pavley Funeral Home, Oregon Chapel, 440 S. Coy Rd. Oregon, Ohio, 43616, on Thursday, June 5, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. \u2013 8:00 p.m. with prayer services at 7:00 p.m. Funeral services will begin at 11 a.m. Friday, June 6, 2025, at SS.

Ese amor verdadero que, tras pasar la mayor parte de su vida juntos, se reencontr\u00f3 en el m\u00e1s all\u00e1, al mismo tiempo o casi al mismo tiempo, pero juntos.<\/p>\n<p>Esta es la historia de Carmen L. y V\u00edctor V.

Estuvieron juntos 69 a\u00f1os, casados \u200b\u200b64, y Carmen falleci\u00f3 en paz con V\u00edctor a su lado, todav\u00eda de la mano. \u00a1Y ahora est\u00e1n REUNIDOS de nuevo!<\/p>\n<p>El 28 de mayo de 2025, a los 94 a\u00f1os, V\u00edctor (Shorty) Ram\u00edrez parti\u00f3 de este mundo f\u00edsico para reunirse con su \u00fanico amor, Carmen, quien a los 84 a\u00f1os falleci\u00f3 el 30 de junio de 2024.

Naci\u00f3 en Brownsville, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>V\u00edctor vivi\u00f3 una vida llena de generosidad y prop\u00f3sito. A los 5 a\u00f1os, trabajo en los campos de algod\u00f3n del sur de Texas y comenz\u00f3 una vida de trabajo. Naci\u00f3 en Edcouch, Texas, y emigr\u00f3 a Williston, Ohio, en 1948 en busca de una vida mejor y oportunidades a los 17 a\u00f1os.

Seg\u00fan su familia, &#8220;fue en la raya entre 1948 y 2025&#8221; que comenz\u00f3 su incre\u00edble historia de amor. V\u00edctor conoci\u00f3 al amor de su vida con solo brevemente una mirar de cuatro segundos cuando Carmen estaba en la camioneta roja de su papa mientras estaba en un descanso limpiando en la calle Consaul, cerca de Coy Rd., en Oreg\u00f3n, Ohio. Seg\u00fan V\u00edctor, fueron &#8220;esos 4 segundos&#8221; los que cambiar\u00edan su vida durante los siguientes 70 a\u00f1os de maneras que jam\u00e1s so\u00f1\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>Carmen, seg\u00fan su hijo Martin, &#8220;perteneci\u00f3 a una generaci\u00f3n de amantes, l\u00edderes y trabajadoras, que sirvieron con pasi\u00f3n. Se tom\u00f3 muy en serio su rol de esposa. Desde la primera comida que prepar\u00f3 para V\u00edctor en el 119 de la avenida Whitmore, cerca de la calle Front, le demostr\u00f3 cu\u00e1nto lo amaba cocinando.&#8221; Aunque, seg\u00fan su familia, &#8220;le puso demasiada sal al arroz mexicano,&#8221; V\u00edctor segu\u00eda pidiendo una segunda. Y, cuando Carmen se convirti\u00f3 en madre, sirvi\u00f3 a sus hijos con ese mismo amor. Sus hijos y su esposo siempre fueron lo primero. Seg\u00fan sus hijos, incluso &#8220;a costa de su propia salud.&#8221; Seg\u00fan Martin y Hector, &#8220;su madre era de otra raza. No hab\u00eda vacaciones a las Bahamas con sus amigas, ni escapadas de fin de semana a bodegas. Dios sabe que ella y sus hermanas las habr\u00edan aprovechado y sin duda se las merec\u00edan&#8230; Estuvo ah\u00ed d\u00eda tras d\u00eda para todos nosotros.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Carmen pas\u00f3 muchos a\u00f1os ayudando a los trabajadores migrantes a integrarse a la vida en el noroeste de Ohio, sin olvidar nunca sus ra\u00edces. Trabaj\u00f3 durante a\u00f1os en la Panader\u00eda Nacional en el antiguo barrio h\u00fangaro, conocido cari\u00f1osamente como &#8220;Honky Town.&#8221; Vest\u00eda a los pobres y alimentaba a los hambrientos del barrio. Incluso cuando su familia se apretaba el cintur\u00f3n, nadie se atrev\u00eda a quejarse. Carmen dirig\u00eda las reuniones de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Padres y Maestros (PTA) de la escuela primaria Birmingham y cocinaba para los torneos de lucha libre de la escuela secundaria Waite. Carmen llevaba carne por valor de $1.50 y hac\u00eda sonre\u00edr a 25 ni\u00f1os del vecindario con un burrito de tortilla de harina en sus manitas.<\/p>\n<p>Carmen estuvo presente incluso desde el principio con V\u00edctor para apoyar al Comit\u00e9 Organizador del Trabajo Agr\u00edcola (FLOC), el movimiento sindical de trabajadores agr\u00edcolas migrantes. V\u00edctor y Carmen fueron unos de los nueve miembros originales de la comunidad que asistieron a una de las primeras reuniones del Baldemar Vel\u00e1squez\u2019s FLOC en 1967. Seg\u00fan sus hijos, &#8220;El d\u00eda antes de que pap\u00e1 falleciera mientras dorm\u00eda, llam\u00f3 a sus hijos para recordarles de la reuni\u00f3n del FLOC del martes por la noche.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>V\u00edctor se enorgullec\u00eda igualmente de ser miembro del sindicato y apreciaba a su familia por encima de todo, y ten\u00eda muchos a quienes apreciar.
