Petra Gomez Ramirez, 73, was given her wings on Monday, June 19th, 2023 and welcomed home by her Creator. She was born on January 20, 1950 to her parents, Andres Duran and Maria Cyrilda (Placencio) Gomez in Silver City, New Mexico.

She loved with sincerity and lived a life of faith. She never failed to see the beauty in people and the world around her. She was always forgiving to a fault and, through her kindness and love, we were given an ember of compassion that will forever warm our hearts. Her smile, her laughter and the presence of this angel, only briefly lent to those blessed enough to have felt her love, will forever be missed but never ever forgotten.

Till we meet again, sweet beautiful soul...

She is survived by her husband, and best friend, Robert Ramirez; her two children, Mary Esther "Gypsy" Ramirez & Edward "Lalo" Ramirez. Though she was a mother of two, there were many who were lucky enough to call her "Mom". She is also survived by her sister Terry Garcia (Manuel) of Bayard, NM and her numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her son Roberto "Jr" Ramirez; her brothers, Rosario Gomez, Andres P. Gomez, Henry Gomez, Mike P. Gomez; her sisters Monica Gomez, Corrine Morales, Virginia Hernandez, Baby Virginia Gomez. She was a beacon of light to anyone who needed it and often guided those seeking comfort. She was a daughter, a sister, a nurse, a counselor and a friend to many.
