Ramona F. Vincent Obituary (1947 - 2026)

Born at Beebe Hospital in Lewes, Delaware, a remarkable woman graced this world with her presence on December 12, 1947. Ramona Francis Vincent, known for her love of family, curiosity, playful and thoughtful spirit, made a lasting impression on everyone she encountered. It is with heavy hearts that we announce Ramona's passing on March 18, 2026, at the age of 78. Ramona's journey was one of laughter, love and enjoyment of food. Her unique blend of humor and wisdom made her an unforgettable character. She had a funny bone, even in the toughest of times, she could find some humor and joy. She loved to cook , especially for her family. From her famous mom breakfast with cream chipped beef, to fried chicken on the beach or Italian subs in tin foil. She believed "there is magic in soup", and there is. She was deeply thoughtful, not just to her family, but to all living creatures, from the numerous pets throughout her lifetime, to the consideration of bugs. She was quick to help others, from taking a neighbors trash out when they couldn't, to walking almost a mile a day to feed stray cats, a constant consideration on how she could make a difference in the lives of those around her. She loved her work in hospitality, a testament to her nurturing spirit. Ramona's family was the center of her universe. She had six children, 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild, and would often say "Every single one of you were meant to be here", reminding her loved ones of their importance and the unique place they held in her heart. And she made sure they knew it, every morning with a good morning text, and a reminder of "I'm here". Although mom was not perfect, she desperately wanted her family to know she would have done things differently, and in that, she was finding grace for herself and others. Mom found joy within. And when she spoke about joy, her face lit up with a smile that you don't just see, but feel. Ramona, Mom, Mommom Patches, you will live on in our hearts forever. We invite everyone who knew Ramona to share your favorite memories, stories, and photos on her memorial page.

As we all continue to feel her absence, let's come together to remember the joy and love she brought into our lives.
