Ramona Taylor, 94, a resident of Albuquerque since 1951, died peacefully in her sleep in the early hours of Tuesday, February 9, 1999. Born on August 31, 1904, she lived a long and devoted life. Those she touched with her kindness and generous spirit mourn her with gratitude. She was part of a large family, however, she is survived by only one sister, Regina Jaramillo. Ramona was the daughter of Seledon Medina and Manuelita Ortega Medina. Her father died when she was seven years old. She was raised with heroic struggle by her mother, who died in 1950.

She and her husband, moved to Albuquerque in 1951. Her husband died in 1961. Much more could be said about this remarkable woman. However, the love and devotion of her many nephews and nieces is her highest tribute. She will be greatly missed. She was a member of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas since 1949.
