Mom grew up in Minnesota with our grandparents Hiller and Elsie Holien, and six aunts and uncles She married William Ramlo and soon started a family of her own. Mom and Dad moved frequently due to Dad’s job as a water well driller. No matter how far the move, or how often, Mom always managed to make wherever we lived into a home. She made friends wherever she went. You could always count on Mom to have a new friend whenever she got off a plane or a train. Her friendships were lifelong and her affection was deep and genuine. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends and all who loved her. Rest in peace, and party when you can. We love you Mama!!
