Ben Ramsey,
Jr.
Sep 21, 1943 — Nov 5, 2025
Ben Ramsey, Jr., 82, went to be with his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. He was a lifelong resident of Harrison, TN and of the Baptist faith.
Ben dedicated 42 years to the United States Postal Service, where he was known for his reliability, hard work, and friendly spirit. He retired in 1996, leaving behind not only a long and respected career but also many friendships made along the way.
A true collector at heart, Ben enjoyed finding and treasuring all sorts of things that caught his eye — each item with its own story and meaning. He found great joy in traveling with his family, exploring new places, and creating memories that will be always be cherished.
Ben was happiest when he was outdoors — whether casting a line on a quiet morning or taking the boat out for a peaceful day on the water. He also held a special place in his heart for his two beloved granddogs, Buttercup and Maggie, who brought him endless happiness and companionship.
Ben will be remembered for his love of family, his sense of humor, and his kind and steady presence. His legacy of warmth, curiosity, and devotion will live on in all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Irene Ramsey; maternal grandparents, Sim and Cora Davis; paternal grandparents, Logan and Juanita Ramsey; special aunt, Florene Tinker, and furry four-legged friend, Maggie.
Ben is survived by his wife of 65 years, Linda Correll-Ramsey; daughters, Melissa Ramsey and Natalie Ramsey; brother, Michael Alan Ramsey; four-legged friend, Buttercup, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 2 p.m. at Tyner Cemetery with a special family friend, Larry Scott, officiating.
Immediately following the graveside service, friends and family are asked to join together at Home Folks Restaurant to celebrate Ben's life… if you know, you know.
The family requests in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Samaritan's Purse. Ben had a heart for the services they provide representing God's love.
