Together they had four children, Joe Albert Ramon, Alvaro “J.R.” Ramon, Jr., Debrah Jean Ramon, and Rodney Edward Ramon.

Mary had cultivated the kind of qualities which made her beautiful in God’s eyes. Her inner heart was the source of ones’ thoughts, attitude, and feelings that mattered to the people who loved her. Mary was a faithful servant of Jehovah God and Jesus Christ. She was a Jehovah’s Witness. As we mourn her death, we ask God to strengthen us as we pray. We will receive “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.” The peace that God gives calms our hearts, and stabilizes our thoughts. There will be a day when God fulfills His heart-warming promise to “wipe out every tear from our eyes.”

Mary was one of the oldest of eight siblings. She was preceeded in death by her parents, Felicita M. and Manuel Rodriguez; and her infant brother, Manuel Rodriguez, Jr. She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Alvaro M. Ramon; children Joe Albert Ramon of Rosharon, Texas, Alvaro “J.R.” Ramon, Debrah Ramon Montez, and Rodney Edward Ramon of Odessa. She was a wonderful grandmother to eight grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.
