Ramona married Antonio Ramirez on July 10, 1947. They were happily married for 44 years until his death in July 1991. Ramona enjoyed cooking, baking, and serving the neighborhood kids. She loved watching her children and grandchildren play baseball and cheering them on.

She had seven children; Antonio Jr.(Sue) from Houston, Ricardo (Helen), Ramon (Erlinda), Daniel (JoAnn), Steven Ramirez (Maria), Patricia Mata (Tomas), all from Lubbock, and Marie St. Onge (Richard) from Round Rock, Texas. Ramona also had 24 grandchildren and 35 great grandchildren.

The family wishes to extend their thanks to the Trevino family, Lucinda, Dora and Amelia and offer a special gratitude of love to the family of Belma and Victor Marquez and Eva Trevino, who loved and cared for her. The Lord sent you to help us with mom’s care and we will never forget the warmth and love you gave to her and the family. We are also grateful to the staff at Vista Care Hospice, who took care of her with so much love.

“We love you Mom, you are gone but not forgotten.”
