Cecelia Ramsey Wells

Cecelia Ramsey Wells, 100, formerly of Huntington, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday night, October 1, 2008, four days short of her 101st birthday. She has been ready for quite sometime to be greeted into heaven by her Lord and Savior, her husband, Harley Wells and her son, Jimmy Wells. A host of siblings, nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends were also there to greet her at the beginning of her journey. Her walkers and wheelchairs are no longer needed for in a twinkling of an eye she was changed. Her pain is gone and she is now walking on Streets of Gold with her back straight and a spring in her step as she celebrates with her family and friends. A celebration of her life will take place 1 pm Saturday, October 4, 2008 at Baptist Temple, 902 21st Street, Huntington, with Rev. Andrew Magnusson officiating. Interment will follow at Ridgelawn Cemetery, Huntington. She was born October 5, 1907 in Milton, WV, a daughter of the late George and Nettie Mounts Ramsey. She retired from C & O Hospital as a nurse's aid. She is survived by; her son and daughter in law Robert and Marie Wells; two grandsons, Mike (Debbie) Wells and Steve (Carol) Wells; five great grandchildren, Melissa, Michael, Melanie, Heather & Craig; ten great-great grandchildren; a niece, Geneiva Gearhart; and a nephew, Richard Ramsey. Cecelia was a joy to be around. She meant so much to everyone who knew her. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, caregiver, cake maker, prayer warrior, nurse, great friend, healer when you were hurting, and very focused if she wanted something done, but always worked for the Lord in all that she did. She loved her family, her church and her church family. She was a long standing member of Baptist Temple and for the church, she was a Sunday school teacher, a cook, a cleaner and for many years anything else the church needed - she did, while she was still able to attend. She missed them so much after she could no longer be there. Her church family was very good to her, they visited her often and never forgot her. She was a 50 year member of the Eastern Star Chapter 89 of Guyandotte. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 pm Friday, October 3, 2008 at Ferrell-Chambers Funeral Home, Huntington. Special thanks to all her doctors and caregivers from Heartland of Riverview where she made her final worldly home. Special thanks to Judy, John & Drew Hutchison and her dear friends Bob & Elsie Pruett. Special thanks to roommate Ruby Sansom and Ruby's daughter, Edna Justice who helped her so much during her final months. We can never thank each of you enough.
