She was born in Corpus Christi, Texas to her loving parents Juan and Josephine Q. Martinez on July 28, 1955.
She would graduate from Roy Miller High School as a proud Buccaneer in the Class of 1974; taking great interest in the art of cosmetology. Right here in Corpus Christi, she would meet and marry, the love of her life, Alfredo Humberto Aguilar. From this Holy Union, now together as one, would bring to life their daughter Crystal Marie Aguilar. The pride and joy of her life. Ramona dedicated her life to her faith and her family. Her trust in God was unwavering; even in the face of many trials. She in turn, taught her daughter to have a firm faith in God, to be strong, loyal, independent and caring. She was very much an angel on earth; she would volunteer with many charities helping the sick and elderly, she dedicated her time and energy to serving the needy and homeless at her local food bank. For those she could not help physically, she would battle for them spirituality as prayer warrior. The family is at peace knowing Ramona understood and believed in the promise of an everlasting life in heaven. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend; now our Guardian Angel. Her beautiful spirit will live on forever.
