Dorothy grew up in West Homestead, PA and worked close by at the former Mesta Machinery Co. prior to getting married. She raised her five children in West Homestead before moving to Jefferson Hills in 1988. She was a member of St. Anthony’s Catholic Church in Homestead.
The Ramsey family spent every summer at their cottage at Canadohta Lake, PA, where they made many fond memories. Dorothy and Red traveled the world on many trips with Ford Motor Company as owners of Ramsey-Sturman Ford in Pleasant Hills. They also enjoyed many fishing trips to Canada with her sister, Mary Agnes and brother-in-law, the late John Piscitelli. Dorothy was a night owl and enjoyed nothing more than sipping coffee late into the night, chatting on the phone with whoever was awake at 2 am. Above all, she enjoyed spending time with her grandkids. Dorothy’s kindness toward others made an indelible mark on everyone she knew.
