Retired from the former Hills Department Store at the Ohio Valley Mall, Mary Jean enjoyed time spent with her family, playing Yahtzee and cards. She enjoyed reading, keeping up with the news with her church friends, and crocheting baby blankets for each of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a member of the Hillview Terrace Church of Christ in Moundsville and she loved her church family.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her dear husband, Willard F. Ramsay in 2013; a son, Curtis Willard Ramsay; four sisters, Margaret Yost, Hazel Kemp, Audrey Christy and Helen Stonebraker; and a brother, Charles Foster.
