Anca Ramniceanu Obituary

We think of you and of Mirel. Our love is the same and you will always be in our hearts, as long as we live.

Still miss her big heart and her beautiful smile
Can´t believe it´s been so long
We will see her in Heaven

Memory eternal to a great friend. We miss her dearly

Oh, time passes so fast, but all the good memories of dear friends are still alive!
We miss Anca and Mirel and mama Dorica for their big hearts and willingness to help everyone, make every friend feel special! Thank you for waching over us from above!
Forever in our hearts, never forgotten, may rest in peace dear friend!

One more month since we lost our dear friend Anca. It was summer time, she supposed to go in London and France for a family reunion, but her life was cut way too short, and us, family and friend we miss her so much! She was full of life and her smile was so special!
It doesn't pass one day without thinking or dreaming about her good heart!
May God rest her soul in peace!
Diana and family

Another month passed by without our dear Anca! We remember the last years 4th of July, when we were together, and we had a good time with Anca, Mioara, mama and Mitzi, and we enjoyed the fried beans!
God may rest her in peace and for the rest of us, to make the pain easier!
Diana and family

Today it's one month since we lost our dear friend Anca!
We miss her very much and may God rest her soul and confort the family who loved her!
Diana and family

We were once three friends working at the power plant at Ludus, Romania fourty years ago. We wrestled with the hardship and still managed to have a good time. It's only me now. I lost two best friends.
I was lucky enough to have the chance to meet Anca for the 2008 New Year, unaware that this will be our last encounter. I remember her being a gracious host, making every effort to make sure that I have a perfect time. We were not very much in touch over the years and I was looking forward to a closer relationship...but we did not get the chance.
My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

Draga Ancuta,
Nu exista nici-o regula pe lumea asta.
Cum este posibil ca soarta sa aleaga dintre noi pe cea care merita cel mai putin sa paraseasca aceasta lume?
Pentru noi tu reprezentai un reper de omenie si inteligenta.Nu credem ca exista om pe care sa-l fi cunoscut si pe care sa nu-l fi ajutat.Cu atat mai pretioasa este bunatatea, omenia ta , cu cat ea venea de la un om puternic si destept, cum esti tu.
Distanta dintre noi, de cand ai plecat din Romania, nu a fost niciodata o piedica sa te simtim aproape.Ai reusit cu delicatete si bunatate sa fii alaturi de noi cand ne-a fost mai greu.
Singura rasplata reala din partea noastra este ca fetita noastra are aceeasi zi de nastere cu tine.
Noi nu putem accepta ca nu te vom mai vedea, ne putem consola doar neacceptand disparitia ta.
Cu bine Ancuta,
Dan si Luminita

Sunt fapte si zile care lasa urme adanci ,marcand puternic desfasurarea ulterioara a vietii;
S-ar putea spune ca perioada temporala dintre venirea pe lume(nastere) si plecarea(despartirea de ea)reprezinta pasajul nostru planetar,adica ceea ce numim VIATA
Daca aceasta s-ar produce in gradinile EDENULUI,ar fi o linie dreapta intre inceput si sfarsit,deci viata ar fi sublima
Dar, parasind EDENUL,linia dreapta a devenit un sir de curbe,de suisuri si coborasuri,si atunci fiecare pamantean are de escaladat in viata ,o GOLGOTA a lui, mai mult sau mai putin abrupta
Unii,reusesc sa parcurga traseul pana la punctul final;majoritatea,insa este intr-o lupta continua de urcat-coborat,dar nu stie unde se va opri la coborarea topoganului vietii
Toata aceasta lupta cu viata pt viata s-ar numi DESTIN sau SOARTA,iar la nivel stiintific PROGRAM BIOLOGIC
PT,cei ce parasesc viata pamanteana ajungand pana la pct finis al topoganului, conform legilor firii,despartirea e deci este tot dureroasa ,,dar normala,inteleasa si motivata.
Dar daca existenta pamanteana se face in perioada in care VIATA ar fi putut ccontinua frumos si benefic pt individ si familie,atunci despartirea este greu de suportat,pt totul este nefiresc
Intreruperea brusca a pasajului pamantean,neasteptat,nemotivat, numai prin interventia nefasta a hazardului,face ca suferinta sa fie sfasietoare,ucigatoare, ca un tsu-nami care distruge totul intr-o clipa,
Stiam ca o suferinta , o nenorocire nu vin niciodata singure, ci sunt insotite de altele care se tin lant,vin in cascada, torential,lovind orbeste, necrutator
Cand Dita l-a sunat pe IULIAN sa-l felicite de Paste, desi acesta trecuse si noi ne felicitasem reciproc, am avut o presimtire ca ceva nu e in ordine(asa au stabilit fetele mele sa ma protejeze, stiind starea mea)
VESTEA DECESULUI TRAGIC al ANCAI a cazut ca un traznet,nu am putut reactiona decat strangand ICONITA de care nu ma despart la piept
Dupa ce am sunat-o pe Dita, Isabela,Mariana,afland cum s-au petrecut toate,a inceput socul greu de descris
Am comunicat fiecarei copile de aici tragica veste si am schitat ferparul
L-am cautat pe Dan pe mobil in Italia, era distrus
E greu de redat cum pot sa depasesc aceasta stare avand imprimata permanent pe retina si cortex,o fiinta firava zdrobita de un bolid, murind in chinuri
Toti am hotarat sa refuzam ideea plecarii Ancai dintre noi pt ca ea a fost si a ramas cu noi,in inima si mintea noastra,asa cum am cunoscut-o,indragita si stimata de toti cei care i-au fost apropiati
ANCA a facut parte din darul cel mai de pret pe care Domnul mi l-a dat la inceputul carierei mele de dascal,o gradina de flori paradisiace,un grup de copii de exceptie,unic in cariera mea,superdotati,avizi de informatii,cu dorinta permanenta a auto-depasirii,cu educatie aleasa primita in familiile lor(care mi-au fost mentori pt inceputul de drum in cariera didactica)
copii uniti prin spirit de echipa si prietenie sincera care s-a conservat aproape 1/2 de veac,cu care puteam realiza si imposibilul,datorita dorintei lor de a ma ajuta la indeplinirea multiplelor sarcini de profa si diriga,(datorita lor clasa a primit anual drapelul de fruntasa pe scoala)
Spre deosebire de copilele mele toate minunate,dar care erau mai animate in banci, cu iesiri firesti varstei (o susoteala, un biletel),fara a stirbi cu nimic aura de copii de elita,ANCA era in banca ca un portret inramat, parca era siderata,neclintita,ochisorii ei urmarind fiecare gest al meu si manutele notand fiecare notiune a lectiei noi
NICIODATA nu a ridicat manuta sa raspunda cand intrebam clasa despre o problema legata de tema predata
Ma uitam la ea si lasa ochisorii in jos,la fel ca atunci cand ii apreciam raspunsul la ascultarea lectiei la tabla
Imbujorarea obrajorilor denota o sensibilitate si emotivitate sporita, dar toate acestea nu excludeau o fermitate si franchete in sustinerea unor opinii propri
Avea idei pt realizarea unor probleme ale clasei si un simt al organizarii
Era de o modestie deosebita care impresiona si care a ramas pana in zilele noastre o dominanta in felul ei de a fi
Pt tote acestea,era inconjurata de afectiunea puternica a colegelor si respectul colegilor ei
Ca gazda a micilor noastre intalniri(secrete)avea grija sa-si protejeze invitatii de ochii "soacrelor"respectiv EU si Dna BRATU,asezandu-ne cu cornulete delicioase, pe balcon,dar cu spatele la RINGUL de dans,pt a nu vedea cum MATADORII mei epuizeaza in cea-cea sau twist-again la moda sau Marina, Marina, bietele mele copile
Cei 4 ani au trecut, cu toate momentele minunate petrecute ca intr-o familie,a venit Bacul,copiii mei au fost declarati promotia de aur si unica a liceului ; apoi toti s-au raspandit la facultati,apoi au luptat pt realizarea profesionala,pt un camin si crestrea odraslelor si , cu mici exceptii,4 decenii nu ne-am mai vazut,aici cotribuind si absenta mea de 8 ani
Viata a facut ca dintre toti ANCA sa tina legatura in tot acest timp cu mine
Am fost la casatoria ei,A venit pt ramas bun la plecarea in State, ,revenind peste un an exact in ajunul plecarii noastre,in clipe grele, pt ca lasam fratele in coma uremica si cu inceperea dializei nou introduse la noi si tatal cu neo pulmonar
ACOLO m-a vizitat si am stabilit modul de comunicare in scris-lunar, astfel stiind cate ceva despre fiecareA venit in tara dupa revolutie cu MIREL si Dan si am stabilit cum sa reluam legatura cu cei ramasi si cei plecati
A fost alaturi de colegii din comitetul de organizarea INTALNIRII de VIS a cl xi b,dupa 40 ani dela absolvire
Dupa plecare a lucrat zi si noapte pt a darui participantilor album cu planul actiunii,desfasurarea ei, poze plus CD cu ele,adaugand si copiii care nu au putut participa
Oricat as dori sa vorbesc despre ANCA este prea PUTIN si inferior modului in care au descris-o colegele ei cu mult talentPt noi, ANCA nu a plecat,ramane vesnic prezenta printre noi, in noi,in inima si sufletul nostru, cu zambetul si ochii ei radiind bunatate si prietenie sincera
Sufletul ei a intalnit acolo pe Tatal si peMirel gasind linistea pe care nu a mai putut-o avea in singuratate
ANCA te vom iubi pana la sfarsitul vietii pamantene pt ca apoi sa ne reintalnim sa mai punem de o excursie cu peripetii ca aceea din IEZER sau poate chiar in EDEN,acolo nefiind nevoie de vize
Odihneste-te in pace ,scumpa copila!

Anca era piinea noastra cotidiana, o parte esentiala a sistemului nostru de referinta...
Inca ne e greu sa folosim timpul trecut - ea e aici, la distanta de un telefon, de o jumate de ora cu masina, de un email.. Inca vorbim cam la doua zile..ne intilnim la Dorica?...nu treceti pe la mine? ne vedem duminica? A lasat un gol enorm, o consternare.. ce ne-om face fara ea.. Putem doar sa incercam sa-i tinem memoria vesnic vie.

"In clipele de neuitat ale mintii :
sunt strazile pe care le bateam impreuna,
sunt orele de matematica in care Anca stia sa rezolve oricind, orice problema,
sunt iernile in care zburau bulgarii si verile cind ne plimbam cu Doamna la Sosea,
sunt cei 16 ani in care dezbateam cu orele problemele atit de importante ale vietii si aniversarile noastre la care ne speriam parintii cu ultimele dansuri la moda
sunt cursurile si examenele in salile Politehnicii si primii pasi in viata si cei de tinere casatorite......
Si mai tirziu, peste ani , plimbarile cu Anca si Mirel pe malul lacului la Chicago , noptile de taclale pe malurile Senei la Paris si revederea atit de minunata din 2003
In clipele de neuitat ale mintii toate sint atit de vii,
dar in locul cel de taina al inimii , este surisul tau, Anca, atit de cald si plin de adevarata prietenie - astazi si pentru totdeauna !"
Corina

ANCA draga,, nu te vom uita niciodata
DAN,COLEGELE si DOAMNA

With deep regret I found out about the tragic accident which cut short the life of my chilhood coleg Anca. Even we were far away over the years we stayed in touch and our friendship survived the passing of time. From the bottom of my heart I wish to send to the whole family my deepest sympathy in a such tragic and difficult time.

With Anca's memory in my heart,
Liora

Anca was a regular student at the Chicago Yoga Center. She was a sweetheart, always patient, kind and loving, very respectful and helpful.
Anca (and Mirel) also wrote our computer program, I worked with her and when something went wrong, Anca was there to fix it!
On our yoga trip to Switzerland in 2007 Anca was a pleasure to be around.
I miss her very much, and other students express the same feeling.
On a good note, it is good to know that now Anca and Mirel are together again.
With love to Anca and her family.

In primul rand vrem sa exprimam condoleantele noastre, intregii familii, pentru pierderea incredibila si prematura a Ancutei.
Noi suntem prieteni de 49 de ani cu Mirel si numai de aproximativ 35 de ani cu Ancuta.
Prietena buna, nu a existat nici odata sa ajunga in Toronto si sa piarda ocazia sa ne vada.
Ceace a fost mai socant este ca planificand vacanta in Florida, cu plecarea pe 5 Mai din Toronto, am vorbit cu Anca pe 4 Mai invitand-o sa vina si ea sa stea cu noi.
Ancuta, nu te vom uita niciodata.

It has been very difficult for us to accept the terrible news, that Anca is not with us any longer. We were friends from first class in Romania up to these days. Then, the accident interrupted her life. We met in Israel, 2 months ago for the last time, but we didn't know this will be our last meeting.
We will always remember you,

I met Anca about 10 years ago through my good friends Dita and Petre. I was very touched by the fact that both her and Mirel accepted me right away as a friend. I spent many days in their place and I enjoyed every moment spent together. People like Anca are rare and she will will always be alive in one corner of my memory.
It is a big loss for everybody. My sincere condolences to the family.

Tania

Just a few months ago, when Anca was was in Toronto, we were looking through old books and I showed her one that she had given me 48 years ago,on a birthday, dedicated from 'your good friend Anca'; we hugged and agreed that we still felt that way.
Anca was wonderful friend, a rare, generous spirit and it is still impossible to believe she's gone. However, we'll always feel the same way - we are friends, and our hearts and minds are so much richer for having been so.
May you find peace, Ancuta - we will be thinking about you!

Our hearts and prayers are with you.
Anca was a good friend and we are sad to hear this. So many memories come flooding back to mind, so many good times at our parties. Anca was a kind and wonderful person with a great sense of humor. Anca, you will be missed.

Dana, Tibi, Izzy and Tudy

I have a very pleasant souvenir of Anca .It was at Tusnad in 1950 during the summer vacation when we were together with our parents wich probably knew each other .I have a small foto with Anca of this time .

Good friends are rare, lifetime friends are rarer, we have been friends from childhood!

Anca helped us a lot, we shared good and not so good times, very happy moments, vacations and celebrations.
We have a lot of fun together.

Now we are left with memories, and what a treasure of memories we have!

We are missing you, and will be missing you forever!

Our hearts are filled with sorrow which words cannot describe. May you and Mirel rest in peace.

To Anca's family:

We extend our sympathy and warm embrace.

Anca was an unusual person in this world: she was a loyal friend, kind and warm. She had many friends, good friends. She was always eager to help but in a gentle, tactful way, without fuss or arrogance. She had a big heart, she helped our family and many other Romanians who immigrated to Chicago.
We are missing her immensely but we'll treasure the good times we had together in Chicago, Curacao, Toronto and California!!!

It's so hard to accept that we'll not see Anca anymore!
We will always cherish the memories and time spent together with her.
We lost a dear friend who can never be replaced!

Anca was a recently discovered distant relative of mine. In the short time that I've known her, she was able to clarify and add to the family tree. She will be missed at the family reunion in June. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I am heartbroken at the news of Anca's passing and my deepest sympathies, warmest thoughts and fervent prayers are with Mara, Lydia, Mioara, Dorica and the entire extended family. Even though I was merely an emigre from Boston, rather than Romania, Anca played the same kindly role in welcoming me to Chicago and helping me to feel estabished that she has to so many others. Easily my all-time favorite aunt who was in no technical sense actually my aunt. Anca was wonderful and will be missed.

Thank you, Anca, for your support, love, and welcoming nature. So many have benefited from your generosity. You changed so many lives, including ours. We will always keep you in our hearts, and your kindness always remembered.

- Olga, Oliver, and Lucas

To the family of Anca Ramniceanu

Our deepest sympathy, we will miss seeing Anca and Mitzi in the building and their visits to our office. Our prayers are with you.

No words can express my sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.

We'll miss you very much, Anca.
Your sweet and gentle soul will always be remembered.

We weep with deep sorrow for Anca's untimely death, but we remain richer for having had her as a dear friend.

you will me missed ver, very much.

To the family of Anca Ramniceau,

I am writing to express my deepest and heartfelt sympathy at the loss of your beloved daughter, sister and aunt.

I am a very dear friend of your cousin Julian Rodescu. I have known Julian and Alina for 25 years; we met in New York and are very close.

I learned of the tragedy on the news and was shocked to learn, from Julian, that Anca was his cousin.

I am grieving with you; I've heard beautiful compliments from Julian about Anca. You in my thoughts and prayers.

Sheryl Andrea Smith

We are going to miss you very, very much.
Docica, Fani, Armanf, Florin Celia.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family at this time of your sorrow. It is now time to celebrate Anca's life.
We were nieghbors of Anca when she lived at 3150 N. Sheridan Rd.

I pray that God's peace fills your hearts and that His strength comforts your entire family in this time of sorrow.

I am very sad that the world has lost Anca too early and under these circumstances. I met Anca after Mirel's death when da Corneto began receiving memorial gifts for Mirel. I discovered they had been coming to the concerts and enjoyed them very much. Anca began ushering at concerts and was always at our events. She was beginning work on a patron database and I was fortunate to have dinner with her while we discussed it. She was just a lovely lady and someone who made you feel good just by spending time with her. The world was a better place with her in it and I will realy miss her. My condolences to family and friends. May many happy memories bring you comfort.

Draga Anca,
Inca nu ne putem impaca cu gindul ca nu iti vom mai vedea fata vesela, auzi risul si fi in prejma ta, un deosebit prieten, sora si devotata fiica.
Sa te odihnesti in pace, alaturi de tovarasul de viata, Mirel.
Cu durere mare in suflete, Diana, Edy, Any, Michael si Alex Dehelean
