Wilma Ramey of Jonesville, Virginia, a retired Head Start teacher and a member of the Kingsport, Tennessee, congregation, sometimes quips that she's busier now than before she retired!

This beautiful lady volunteers for several local organizations, including Triad, which works to improve the quality of life for senior citizens by sharing information from law enforcement officers as well as providing weekly meals for seniors. Mrs. Ramey also is on the Health Advisory Board for Head Start and is an active member of AARP. She works with the Family Life organization to sell donated clothes in order to raise money for people who are unable to pay their utility bills.

As part of the Mountain Empire Older Citizens (MEOC) committee, she helps sponsor programs such as a walkathon to provide fuel assistance for needy citizens. MEOC and AARP also join forces to provide food for those in need as well as school supplies for children. Additionally, Mrs. Ramey makes time to visit a young friend in the children's home, and she also cooks for two reunions of her very large extended family each year!
