Katrina Marie Ramsey
Katrina Marie Ramsey, 35, passed away tragically in a house fire, along with her two daughters: Zoey Renee and Emma Mae on Oct. 23,2020, in Buxton, N. C..
Born in Erie, Pa., on Aug.17, 1985, she is the daughter of James Piazza and Jamie Rendon (hus-band, Mike).
After graduating from North East High School in 2003, she attended Mer-cyhurst College, where she studied and graduated as an license practical nurse. Ka-trina was a longtime em-ployee of Harvest Restau-rant in North East and also held various nursing posi-tions.
On Aug. 8, 2008, in Pensacola, Fla., Katrina married Harry Hamilton Ramsey III. Katrina’s proudest and most immense joy was the life she and Harry created together. She never ceased to amaze those around her with the deep love she had for her three daughters: Bridgett, Zoey and Emma, and Har-ry; they were her world. She was a beautiful and loving person and by fault wore her heart on her sleeve. She had the best smile and beautiful blue eyes.
In addition to her parents, Katrina is survived by her loving husband, Har-ry Hamilton Ramsey III BM1, USCG; daughter, Bridgett Fisher; siblings, Shane Piazza of Parker, Colo., Nathalie Rendon, Ryan Rendon and Daisy Rendon, all of Erie, Pa.; grandfather, James Smith; mother-in-law, Helen Ram-sey; brothers-in-law: Joseph Ramsey (wife, Farrah), and Charles Ramsey (wife, Nicole); and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Christopher Piazza; grand-mother, Emily Smith; and father-in-law, Harry Hamil-ton Ramsey,Jr.
She was very proud to be called a “Coastie Wife” and loved the Coast Guard as much. She will be deeply missed by very close friends: Amber Snell, Lynn Orton, Ashleigh Kansa and Bridget Greene, her first “Coastie Wife”.
A vigil will be held at 5 p.m., on Friday, Oct. 30, 2020, at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. A service in North East, Pa., will be an-nounced at a later date by the William D. Elkin Fun-eral Home, 65 S Lake Street, North East.
