Ramona was a member of Eastview Christian Church in Normal for nearly 60 years. She was a past Sunday school and VBS teacher and youth group leader.
She was a loving wife, stay-at-home mom and always there for us. She was an exceptional grandma. She answered to Mo-Mo to the five beloved grandchildren. She dearly loved her two sons-in-law, her sister Mavis Lanham and her nieces and nephews.
She was the school secretary at Bent School in Bloomington for several years. She was an avid ISU Redbird fan with season tickets to men's football and basketball way back to the Horton Fieldhouse days. She traveled extensively in the US and many foreign countries. She volunteered in the surgical lounge at Bro-Menn, led tours at the David Davis Mansion and was a past Brownie and Girl Scout Leader.
The last nine years she made her home in the Legacy Unit at Heritage Health in Normal. We would like to thank the staff there for the loving care they gave her through the years and for the care and concern they showed for her and for us the day of her passing. They were a blessing to our family in every way.
