HEYBURN – Glenna Loveless Ramsey, a 93-year-old resident of Heyburn, passed away at her daughter’s home, surrounded by her family, on Friday, September 5, 2025.
She was born December 11, 1931, in Salmon, Idaho, to Curtis Gilbert and Rosa Elizabeth Hale Loveless; she was the fifth of nine children. She lived in Salmon and Blackfoot and moved to Burley just before her eighth birthday. Her parents bought the Latter-day Saints 3rd Ward building on Overland Avenue and converted it into their home, with the front serving them as different businesses over the following years. Glenna attended schools in Burley, where she met her future husband, Bill Ramsey. They were married in a double-wedding ceremony with Bill's brother, Bob, and his wife, Lillie. They went on to have six children, settling in Heyburn.
In 1968, after working in a nursing home, Glenna decided to go back to school and obtain her nursing degree. As a licensed practical nurse, Glenna worked at Cassia Memorial Hospital for several years. In 1972, She and Bill and their two youngest children, moved to Sandpoint, where Bill had accepted a job working for the State of Idaho as a meat inspector. Eventually they started their own successful meat-cutting business. Glenna worked at Bonner General Hospital, where she enjoyed working in obstetrics and delighted in teaching prepared childbirth classes to expectant parents.
In 1992, She and Bill moved back to the Heyburn area, where she continued working as a nurse for Minidoka County School District. Glenna served many church callings throughout her life. She especially enjoyed working with the youth and was a great influence to them, as they were to her. She also enjoyed working in the Relief Society sharing her talent of quilt making and her love of the gospel.
She is survived by five children, Richard “Dick” (Cindy) Ramsey of New Plymouth, Peggie (Chuck) Dunow and Patricia “Patty” (Rick) Pierson, both of Heyburn, Bill Glenn (Corinne) Ramsey of New Plymouth, and Barbra “Barbie” Jarvis of Buhl; one brother, Richard Loveless of Allen, Texas; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren; and great-great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her much joy.
She was preceded in death by her husband, William “Bill” Ramsey; her parents; seven siblings; a daughter, Pamela Heberling; and a great-granddaughter, Aurelia Jarvis.
Even in her last days, Glenna was reminding all around her how blessed and grateful she was for the wonderful family and life she has had. She truly was an example and blessing to us all.
The family would like to thank the nurses at Horizon Home Health and Hospice, Shelby, Tara, Emily and Derik, for all their kindness, professionalism, and attention. They cared for all of us.
The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, September 13, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Heyburn 1st Ward, located at 530 Villa Drive, in Heyburn, with Bishop Jared Price officiating. Burial will be at Marion Cemetery in Oakley.
Family and friends will be received from 5 until 7 p.m. Friday, September 12, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, 1350 E. 16th Street, in Burley, and from 10 until 10:45 a.m. Saturday, preceding the funeral, at the church.
