EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Longtime community leader and Hispanic Chamber of Commerce executive Cindy Ramos-Davidson has died at the age of 69, her family posted on social media.
Ramos-Davidson stepped down as chief executive officer of the Hispanic Chamber in April to focus on her health and a battle with cancer.
She had been with the Hispanic Chamber, a leading advocacy organization for small business in the El Paso region, for 27 years.
Here is what her family posted on Sunday, June 1 via Facebook:
“With profound sadness, but also deep gratitude for her extraordinary life, we share that our beloved Cindy Ramos-Davidson has gained her angel wings.
“After a courageous battle with pancreatic, colon cancer, and a stroke, Cindy passed peacefully early this morning (June 1), surrounded by the love she so freely gave to others. A fierce advocate, fearless leader, and lifelong champion of small businesses and underserved communities, Cindy leaves behind a legacy that spans generations and hearts across the nation.
“There are no words big enough to capture what she meant to our family, our community, and the countless lives she touched. If you’ve read her story, seen her work, or simply stood in her presence — you know she was a force of nature and a light in this world.
“True to her spirit, Cindy asked that we not rush. In honoring her wishes, we will take time to thoughtfully plan a Celebration of Life in August, open to all who knew her, loved her, or were touched by her work. This will allow loved ones from across the country, time to make arrangements and gather together in her honor.
“Details will be shared soon. For now, we ask that you hold her in your heart, share your memories, and continue the work she believed in so deeply. She may no longer walk beside us, but her legacy lives on in every act of courage, love, and community we carry forward. Fly high, Mom. You have your wings now.”
A GoFundMe has been created to support Ramos-Davidson’s family and her legacy efforts.
