Mrs. Elisabeth Charlotte Ramirez, age 93, of Ozark, Alabama, passed away peacefully on April 1, 2026.

Elisabeth will be celebrated in a service by her family, in accordance with her wishes. Holman Funeral Home of Ozark has been entrusted with the arrangements.

Born in Landshut, Germany, Elisabeth’s life was one marked by love, devotion, and quiet strength. It was there that she met and married her beloved husband, SFC (RET) Ruben Ramirez, beginning a lifelong journey together rooted in partnership and care. As a proud military wife, Elisabeth embraced the many moves and transitions that came with that life, always creating a sense of home wherever they were. In time, she and her family settled in Ozark, Alabama, where she planted lasting roots and built a warm and welcoming home.

Elisabeth found joy in life’s simple, meaningful moments. She had a special talent for creating beauty through florals, knitting, and embroidery. She cherished time spent playing Scrabble or getting lost in a good book. She was known for her kind heart, and the way she made others feel cared for. Family was at the center of Elisabeth’s life. She lovingly hosted holiday gatherings, filling her home with warmth, laughter, and the comfort of shared meals. She never missed an opportunity to enjoy a sweet treat and a cup of coffee, especially in the company of those she loved.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert Bernloher and Rose Bernloher of Landshut, Germany. Elisabeth is survived by her devoted husband, SFC (RET) Ruben Ramirez; her daughters, Linda Barefield (Mike), Rosmarie Williamson (Ronnie), and Sylvia Ambrose (Eddy); her grandchildren, Julie Kelly (John), John Barefield (Brittney), Shaun Williamson, Amy Sutton, David Williamson, and Molly Ambrose; and her great-grandchildren, Libby Kelly, Cullis Kelly, Emma Rose Barefield, Bryant Barefield, Cooper Sutton, and Zeke Sutton.

Elisabeth will be remembered for her sweet personality, her unwavering devotion to her family, and the countless small acts of love that defined her days. She was deeply loved by her family and friends and will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
