Frank Joseph Ramm

February 18, 1931 — September 22, 2022

Frank Joseph Ramm, 91, passed away on September 22, 2022, surrounded by family at his home in Kansas City, Missouri.


Frank was born on February 18, 1931, to Joseph and Henrietta (Teal) Ramm. He was the youngest of three boys.


Frank graduated from Lillis High School in 1949. He was an Army veteran, serving in Germany during the Korean Conflict. He went to cooking school where he was a 3 rd cook. His favorite meal to cook for friends and family was “Frank’s famous Chili”.


In 1955 he married Mary Carol Grace. They raised three children: Steve, Danny, and

Anne Marie.


One of his first jobs was as a paper boy for the Kansas City Star. He also worked at the

Luzier Cosmetic Company and the Kimo Movie Theater, where he’d sneak movie

passes into Mary Carol’s popcorn before they were married.


After returning from the Army, Frank worked for Kansas City Southern Railroad in the

office.


In 1958 Frank went to work for the Bendix Corporation, now named Honeywell. He was

well known for working in the safety crib, distributing safety glasses and shoes to all the

employees. He retired in 1994 with 36 years of service. He was a member of the

International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.


Frank also worked part-time for the W.E. Anderson Company, now named Dwyer

Instruments, for many years.


Frank is survived by his devoted wife of 67 years, Mary Carol; children Steve Ramm

(Debbie), Danny Ramm (Liz), and Anne Marie McLaughlin (Brent); 6 grandchildren

Rebecca Gann (Jeff), David Ramm (Becky), Greg Ramm (Bethany), Bobby Conaty

(Jen), Jessi Alstrom, and Zeb Nichols; 12 great-grandchildren Jillian Gann, Allison

Gann, Camille Gann, Jayden Ramm, Lucas Ramm, Elayna Conaty, Jackson Conaty,

Taylor Edwards, Bailey Edwards, Madison Occhiuto, Luke Alstrom, and Lucas Nichols;

and numerous nieces and nephews. Frank is preceded in death by his parents, his

brothers Bill Ramm and Jack Ramm, and his grandson, Jeremy Ramm.


The family would like to thank Trent, Peggy, Merrilyn and Regina from Comprehensive

Care Services, Denise and Amy from North Kansas City Home Health, Margie Maasen-

lute, and Kansas City Palliative Care for their compassionate care of Frank and Mary

Carol over the last 4 years.
