Overton, Jr. (Lolly) of Rockport, TX; daughter, Denise Marie Overton Baal-Teshuva (Jacob) of New York, NY; granddaughter, Wesley Carrissa Crochet (Ray); great-granddaughter, Mallory; as well as numerous siblings and extended family.

Ramona was the third of ten children, attended a local convent run by Franciscan Nuns from 6 years old and after graduating from high school with a commercial (business) diploma in 1948, she became a secretary/stenographer--prior to computers--with the federal government in Washington D.C. which continuously opened doors for her. With French as her mother tongue, she transferred from the Navy Department on an early assignment to Montreal, Canada as a translator as well, where she met the man of her dreams. They were married August 16, 1952 at the oldest standing catholic church in North America "Notre Dame Des Victoire" in Quebec City, Canada.

Returning to Washington D.C. she worked 31 years most notably at the Pentagon for the Department of Defense, and on a special assignment under Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, investigating CIA activities within the US, whose top secret office was at Truman's hideaway on a side street by the White House (1776 Jefferson) and was "on-call" for assignments at the White House. Ramona worked always in a self-effacing manner. She was ambitious, hard working with overtime assignments, advancing her career, and promoting her family's interests, while residing in the Washington D.C. area for 50 years where her two favorite clubs were, The Maine State Society of Washington and the Canadian Embassy. She became more extraverted upon retirement. William and Ramona moved to Pensacola, FL in 2001, became members of Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church, she remained, a strong cradle to grave catholic.
