Dear Glen and family
I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of Ramona recently. I enjoyed meeting her when my husband and I were in Airdrie with our son, Stephen Utz. She was so friendly and pleasant to be with at the Church. I enjoyed her chats about books and knitting. I was looking forward to another happy visit when we return to see our son soon. Please know that she is in my prayers and heart. I will truly miss her. My thoughts are with her beautiful family. I am so very sad for her loss.
Love always,
Becky, Allan and Stephen Utz

I met Ramona at the Library Knitting group in 2018. I often say near her, and immediately we had several conversations, some were serious, and many were light hearted. I enjoyed hearing what it was like to work as a RN in the NWT and Nunavut. I had dreamed of doing that as a nurse and it was interesting to hear her stories. Also, I learned some knitting tips from her when I asked why she was doing something differently from her, or something I did not know to do.
Rest easy Ramona, you are missed, but now you are free of illness. I will treasure our friendship.

Ramona and I met through an Airdrie knitting group in 2010. Our friendship went beyond knitting but was a primary thread in most all of our conversations.

She loved my kids like her own and I always knew this just by the way she talked about them. My kids were baby and toddler age and she provided me so much support in my early mom days.

I am going to miss you Ramona. Big hugs to Glen, Rachel, Natalie and Aiden.

I first met Ramona at knitting at McDonalds (McKnitting) and one day it was just the two of us so we got to know each other. Ramona was a very special lady, delightful, wickedly funny and deeply caring. I will miss her smile and frank honesty. She was a treasure.

I have known Ramona for many years through church. She was always ready to lend a helping hand and did many behind the scenes work to help with services, council and committees. I will remember her bright smile, laugh and listening ear. She touched many lives over the years and made a difference during her time here. She will be missed.

May God bless her, keep her and give her everlasting peace.
