Obituary: Ramona Mae Beck

In the wee hours of April 26, 2017, our mom, wife, sister and grandma - Ramona Beck - made her journey from this earthly life.

Ramona Mae was born to incredible parents, Del and Ida Trulson, April 18, 1934. She grew up in Kremlin, Montana, along with her siblings, John "Zeke" and Beverly Trulson.

She married Harold Beck in 1952, and they raised five children on the Montana Hi-Line and in Great Falls before moving to Arizona in 1987.

Ramona made a career in the insurance industry.

Ramona married current husband Ron Walker in 1994, and they split their time between Mesa, Arizona, and beautiful Priest Lake, Idaho. She suffered a debilitating stroke the end of July 2016, which ultimately took her life.

Ramona was a big presence, and has left a gaping hole in our hearts. We are all so incredibly fortunate to have experienced her generous, spunky and loving spirit.

Ramona is survived by her husband Ron Walker, Gilbert, Arizona; her sister, Beverly Trulson Heitert (Len Converse), Havre, Montana; her children Barbara Beck (Les Fukuya), Phoenix, Beverly Beck Glueckert (Stephen Glueckert), Missoula, Montana, and Brenda Beck Parker (Bill Parker), Chandler, Arizona; step-daughters, Sherri Kull (Larry), Seattle and Tami Kendall (Scott), Seattle. Ramona also leaves behind 14 delightful grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, as well as a host of wonderful nieces, nephews and other family members.

She was preceded in death by Hal Beck; her parents, Del and Ida; brother; Jack Trulson; only son, Brad, and dear daughter, Boni.

Donations may be made in Ramona's honor to the St Vincent DePaul Society; your local Humane Society, or the Arizona Humane Society, 1521 W. Dobbins Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85041.
