Ben Ramey

Ben’s quilt piece is done in a simple fashion. He was not one for much of anything fancy and complicated. His piece was designed and cross-stitched by his mother because it was a hobby she greatly enjoyed and it gave her time to think about Ben.

The buttons on the quilt represent all the interests that he enjoyed. He was a very good athlete – he was catcher on the baseball team and quarterback in football, he loved hunting, cutting wood and he had a herd of cattle and farmed some of the time.

When we see the quilt piece, we remember not only those interests but also the influences he had on the lives around him. For this he will be remembered and loved always.
