Mabel was born March 8, 1921 in Ranger, TX to
Phillip Thomas & Etta Lou Mainard Falls. She
was a graduate of Ranger High School in the Class
of 1938 and worked as a hairdresser. In June of
1944, she married her husband, Mutt Ramsey, in
Ranger. They were married for almost 50 years,
separated only by Mutt's passing. They raised
two children, Paul and Patsy, spending time in
Lake Charles, LA, Columbia, MS, McAllen, TX, &
Rockport, TX. After retiring, they moved to
Tyler, TX. Mabel & Mutt made the most of their
retirement by traveling around the country on
several driving trips. But, no matter how far
they traveled, Mabel always made a comfortable
home to welcome her children, grandchildren, and
eventually great-grandchildren for every holiday.

Ramsey; son, Paul Ramsey, and daughter, Patsy
Ramsey Anderson; siblings George Falls (RHS-1940),
