Residents in the city of Hudson are mourning the loss of Sheila Ann Ramsey, age 83, an educator and childcare professional. Ramsay was born Sheila Williams in Hudson in 1938. She graduated with high honors from Hudson High School in 1956. She married Richard Ramsey, her third husband, in 1975 and they joined their blended families until his passing in 1997. Ramsay made it her life's work to nurture the community's youth and working along with her good friend, Jean Cobb, she served for more than 40 years as a teacher, financier and parent counselor at Hudson City Daycare. Ramsay also served as a representative of Hudson's 4th Ward on the Common Council for nine years. She was appointed by then-Mayor Richard Tracy in 2007 and subsequently re-elected multiple times. Tracy said at the time, “I think Sheila has longevity here and her connection with the constituents in the ward put her as more of a front runner.” Her obituary noted that throughout her life she "loved dancing, music, parades, jazz festivals, and drum corps competitions. ...She leaves a legacy of love and a lifetime of memories. She will be greatly missed." Read more at HudsonValley360 [dot] com.
