Zeke Thomas Ramia, age 88 of Seymour, beloved husband of Laurette (Clark) Ramia, entered peaceful rest on Saturday, September 9, 2023 in Bishop Wicke Health Center, Shelton, surrounded by family. Born in Shelton on July 26, 1935, he was a son of the late George and Catherine Josephine (Nash) Ramia.
A retired aircraft and auto mechanic, Zeke was also a proud Army veteran, serving during the Korean War. Zeke was always the life of the party and was known for his quick wit, even until his final days. He could make friends anywhere he went, including during his brief stay at Bishop Wicke. Zeke was an avid Dallas Cowboys, Boston Red Sox, and UCONN Women’s Huskies basketball fan, but above all else, he loved spending time with his family.
In addition to his beloved wife Laurette of 65 years, survivors include his loving children, Leo Ramia (Sharon Laughlin) of Shelton, and Susan Labacz (Ed) of Naugatuck; his 5 cherished grandchildren, Kristie Lee Carroll (Anthony), Samantha Labacz, Michael Ramia (Devon), William Ramia (Lianne), and Jacqulin Wesche (Brandon); 3 adored great grandchildren, Aidyn Ramia, Declan Wesche and Kerian Wesche, as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, Zeke was predeceased by his siblings, George Ramia, Joseph Ramia, Rose Storial, Catherine Ebling, Mary Ellen Ramia, Emily McCabe, Sally Pegliaro and Eva Ogle.
