Ramadine was born at home to Oba Raymond and Alice Pauline (Sallee) Hayden on May 29, 1939 Ramadine grew up in a very lovely family who had family get-togethers every week. She was surrounded by aunts, uncles and cousins who she loved very much. She spent many years taking care of her mother after her father passed away, as well as widowed aunts. She was converted at a very young age at Red Top Baptist Church and attended for several years until her parents moved to Bolivar. Ramadine was united in marriage to James Franklin Keith on September 27, 1957, and to this union one daughter Stacy Pauline (Keith) Satterfield was born. Frank and Ramadine had 64 years together. Some of her favorite things were their trips to the Smokey Mountains where they loved to do nature hikes, got to the Grand Ole Opry, and see country music shows. They went to many shows till her health declined and they couldn’t go anymore. Ramadine loved working with her flowers, but most of all she loved her cats Button and Smokey.
