Our most dear, Mrs. Shirley Mae (Cason) Ramsey of Virginia Beach, VA, entered into eternal rest on Thursday, August 21st, 2025, while under the professional medical care of Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital and Virginia Beach Healthcare Center. She was born July 20th, 1943 in Princess Anne County (VA Beach, VA) to the late Mary Elizabeth and John Henry Cason, Sr.  God blessed Shirley to be united in marriage to the love of her life, the late Joseph Ramsey.  This union was granted the blessings of two sons, Joseph Alexander Cason and Jimmy Leon Ramsey.  Our beloved will be forever recognized thus remembered for her dedicated roles as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister and the friendliest “auntie” ever hoped for.
