Ramona was a lovely lady with a fantastic sense of fun, she was too young to grow old so she didn't. An inspiration to all that knew and loved her. Blair Grant and family

As a teenager in the seventies I knew Mrs. Mapp as one of the most friendly, kind and genuinely interested moms I'd ever met--a rare sweet memory from high school. And now, having recently lost both my own mom in Richmond and my mum-in-law in New Zealand, I do empathize with the family and extend my deep sympathy in experiencing such profound loss.

To the family of Dr.Ramona H. Mapp,
We played together as children down in south Alabama. She was very much a tomboy. We went our separate way and she became a Doctor of Education and touched many lives . She will be missed by many .
Our hearts go out to the family and May the Peace of God be with you.

Hi I am sorry for your loss. I met her by being one of her caregivers. I only knew her for a short time about 3 months but in that time I got to know a great generous lady. We always joked about going to Paris and I guess I have to go now with an angel watching over me. Take care. Cheri Lane

Our community has lost a wonderful woman who for a half century contributed to the fabric of our society in higher education, scholarship, historical research, and culture. We all will miss her keen intellect and her caring about Hampton Roads as a special project
While the sadness now is overwhelming, the Mapps have been fortunate to share this beautiful woman for so long. To have such star power hold the light and brighten life’s pathways for you has been a great privilege.
She will be remembered for the wonder and delight she brought to her students, family and friends, for her energy and great ability to organize, her wit and good humor, insight and empathy. Many loved her. Many miss her. You and your family have my deepest personal sympathy.

I was so sad to hear of Ramona Mapp's death. She was a good friend and colleague and offered great support when Ethelyn Morgan, Alice Hedrick and I co-authored The Handbook of Basic Writing Skills, which survived five editions. I will always remember her encouragement and friendship.

Dear Dr Alf J Mapp Jr,
I took your English Comp class in 1970 and one night Dr Ramona Hamby pinch-hit for you. I immensely enjoyed you both as teachers, and persons. I am so glad you found each other and had so many years together, with so much in common! I last met you at Maryview ER, where I was a nurse, sometime in the late 1990s, I think, but was fortunate to have both of you delightful folks cross my path in life. My sympathy is surely with you in her loss, and wishing you peace. Linda Whitt RN

I always enjoyed speaking with her and she wa so appreciative of the little things I'd do. I especially enjoyed one Saturday when my mother and I were invited over to gather IRIS bulbs from her back yard. She was thinning out her flower bed and offered me as many as I could take home. Wesat in the backyard and enjoyed the view and whenever the Iris are in bloom, I'll think of Ramona.
