Ramona loved everyone, never knowing a stranger. Her love and kindness for her family, friends and community showed in her willingness to help anyone she could. She enjoyed sitting outside, especially if she saw her favorite bird, the red Cardinal, going to Jamaica's, sewing, shopping, dancing, and listening to music and she made the best huevos rancheros.
