Ramona was just the person one would wish to have is an acquaintance, friend, a neighbor, or family member, she would most want to be remembered as a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great- grandmother.

Honoring her wishes, she will be cremated, and there will be a private family celebration of life in the future.
