Teresa Dawn Ramsey

Teresa Dawn Ramsey, age 54, of Mena, Arkansas, passed away Friday, October 13, 2023, at the Mena Regional Health System. She was born on Thursday, December 10, 1968, to Amos Leonard and Sharon Kay Nix in Lubbock, Texas.

A woman of vivacious spirit and boundless joy, Teresa’s life was a symphony of her love for those around her and her passions. She served proudly in the United States Navy and raised three wonderful sons who she cherished with all her heart.

Teresa’s zest for life was as electrifying as the Hair Bands of the 80’s, her favorite music genre. This love for high energy and excitement was also reflected in her choice of television shows. Teresa had a penchant for the thrilling and mysterious, drawn to ghost and horror shows and mystery series that kept her on the edge of her seat.

This thrill-seeking spirit also influenced her favorite pastimes. A voracious reader, Teresa loved to lose herself in stories that made her heart race, an adventure in every page. Her outgoing, bubbly, and quick-witted personality was prominent in everything she did, including her hobbies. A skilled crocheter, she brought warmth and comfort to others through her creations, and at one point even used to play the drums, adding her beat to the rhythm of life.

However, it was her career as a nurse that truly exemplified who Teresa was. Not just a hard worker, she was a caregiver in every sense of the word. Revered by her colleagues and cherished by her patients, Teresa was a testament to the power of empathy and dedication in healthcare. Her care was her proudest accomplishment, and she poured her heart into every interaction.

Teresa’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and life lived to the fullest. Her philosophy of taking great care in her work has touched many lives and will continue to resonate even in her absence. Her spirit will forever be remembered, cherished in the hearts of everyone she touched, and her influence will continue to inspire those whose lives she touched.

She is preceded in death by her father, Amos Leonard Nix Jr.

Teresa is survived by her mother, Sharon Nix of Mena; three sons, Cody Ramsey of Mena, Brandon Ramsey of Hatfield, and Scott Ramsey of Mena; one brother and sister-in-law, William and Michelle Nix of San Antonio, Texas; four grandchildren, Declan Ramsey, Nolan Ramsey, Finn Ramsey, and Jamie Ramsey; and a host of other relatives and friends.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 21, 2023, at 10:00 AM at the Mountain View Methodist Church in Mena, Arkansas, with Brother Brian Richardson officiating. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Bowser Family Funeral Home in Mena, Arkansas.
