In her career, Ramonia had been employed by the State of Texas and also managed public water systems in Alpine, Texas and Sonora, Texas. She enjoyed her work ensuring that Texas families had safe drinking water in their homes and places of work.

A reception after the service will be held at the adjoining Sycamore House. Ramonia will be buried at Prairie Lea Cemetery in Brenham. Her heartbroken children would like to remind everyone that symptoms of an impending heart attack in women can be very different than those in men. In lieu of flowers, kindly donate to the American Heart Association.
