Ramona Beltran Alcaraz

She was a native of Waco, Texas and had been longtime resident of San Antonio, Texas before recently moving to Vinton. Ramona was a member of Living Way Pentecostal Church in Lake Charles. She loved to dance and read her bible faithfully. She was a kind and gentle soul to all who were lucky enough to know her. Ramona loved whole heartedly and unconditionally.
