She suffered a devastating loss in the spring of 2013 with the death of her only daughter.

When Ramona returned home from church, she made the terrible discovery that Sheri had passed away.
Health problems eventually forced Ramona to sell her home in Jerseyville and move to an apartment. She went into an assisted living home after that. As her health continued to deteriorate, she moved again to Jerseyville Manor Nursing Home in 2019. She died there at the age of 85 years, 1 month and 11 days.
She was survived by 2 sons and 2 daughters-in-law; 3 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; and many extended family members and friends.
In addition to her first husband and daughter, Ramona was preceded in death by her mother and step-father.
Visitation was held on 06 Mar 2020 at Alexander Funeral Home. Funeral services were conducted there at 2 p.m. that afternoon.
The family requested that memorials, if desired, be made to the church or to the Jersey County Relay For Life.
