Ramona enjoyed all sports and always supported her Tigers. She was a constant at her children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events. She loved to celebrate and host family birthday parties, holidays and special occasions. Ramona was a devout Catholic who prayed the Rosary daily and enjoyed her coffee time on the back porch as she said her prayers. The annual family beach trip was her favorite event to plan and attend. She was known amongst her family for her many quotes and sayings.
