She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who especially cherished time with her children. Ramona also enjoyed cooking, crocheting, knitting, crafts, tejano music, dancing, and the many shopping trips with her dear sister, Connie. She had a devotion to angels and received great pleasure collecting angel figures thru the years. She will be dearly missed.
