Obituary of Ramona Sanchez-Zarate

Ramona Sanchez Zarate, passed December 15, 2022 at her home at the age of 87.  She was born in Michoacan, Mexico.  Ramona lived a long beautiful life, leaving a tremendous legacy behind.

In 1968, she came to the United Sates seeking a better life for her family.  She ultimately settled down in Wimauma, Florida where she began her legacy of welcoming and helping many immigrants.  Our mother's ingenuity allowed her to feed anyone in need with nothing more than a bag of flour and beans.  Ramona was a faithful Catholic to the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ.  She was greatly involved in the community and helped raise money to build Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission Church.  She dedicated her life to passing down her Catholic traditions to her family and anyone she met.

She suffered a stoke in 2015 leaving her paralyzed on her right side and not being able to speak which caused her dementia.  However when your name is Ramona Sanchez, no stroke or dementia will slow you down!

We will always remember her by her million dollar smile.  Survived by her husband and Jose Maria Sanchez and nine children, 14 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren.
