Ramona Gibbons-Suian Obituary
Ramona passed away peacefully in her sleep August 16, 2025.
Ramona was born in Victoria BC on December 4th 1955. Ramona attended Lakehill Elementary and Reynolds's Secondary School afterwards Ramona worked at Royal Jubilee Hospital for 17 years and later at Zellers as a server which she loved because she enjoyed interacting with her customers.
Ramona spent the last few years caring for her elderly parents helping them transition into a full time care home, she enjoyed spending many hours per week visiting and sharing time with them.
Ramona touched many hearts with her big heart, smile and love for all living creatures, nature, flowers especially hummingbirds, butterflies and dragonflies.
Ramona had an intense zest for life which she expressed to all those she met and knew. She was creatively gifted in arts and crafts. One of her passions was creating beautiful mulberry paper lamps that she gifted and sold over the years.
Ramona left this World far too soon, she leaves behind her devoted, loving husband and best friend Dave Suian, her daughter April, her son Aaron, step son Alex, her three granddaughters Simone, Taylor and Shae, her mother Ellen, late father Jim, brother Gary, sister Karon Louise, nephew Jason, her loyal dog Nancy and many other family and friends who will miss her dearly.
In lieu of flowers please consider honouring Ramona's memory by making a donation in her name to her favourite animal rescue, Broken Promises. www.brokenpromisesrescue.com
Although it's a time of great sadness, Ramona would want us to smile as we remember her and carry on living life in her memory with the same love for all beautiful things in this World.
The family will be having a celebration of life on Saturday September 27, 2025.

I met Ramona when I was working at the hospital (RJH). Although we did not stay in touch, I remember she was always fun to work & socialize with. We had a great group back in those days!
Condolences to her family & friends.

Mom was a unique woman with a beautiful heart. I am thankful for the good memories we shared,The World feels emptier without her & I wish we had more time to spend together. One of her favourite sayings & songs was "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)". She´d want everyone she knew to carry on smiling & enjoying life. I hope I can make her smile wherever she is & I hope she feels loved.
She always cared so deeply about animals & people. Even during struggles in her life she always managed to make it through & carry on. I admired her strength. I´m thankful she brought me into this World. No words can really express this ache inside my heart. Miss you Mom, love you forever & always. Until we meet again Xo

So sorry of the loss of Ramona. She used to live next door to my family on Jackson St when April was a little girl. Ramona was very kind and so nice to my Mom and I.

I will miss my happy Childhood friend. Running down Quadra street to meet in the middle. Most of the time we would run back to my house on Pembroke street where we would play at the Park accross the street. Then begging our moms to let her stay over night. Sometimes it worked. I loved her dearly and and miss her so much. Till we see you again beautiful friend.

Mom was a unique & beautiful woman with a heart filled with love for all things beautiful in this World especially animals & nature. My heart will forever miss her. There wasn´t enough time to share more memories together, so many things we never got to do, so many words left unsaid. I´ll cherish the good memories & try to smile & live life remembering her singing "Que sera, sera" to me & her many words of wisdom throughout life. The World will always feel different & emptier without her. Despite any challenges life threw her way she always found a way to rise above & create a beautiful space around her. She taught me so many lessons in life. I´ll forever be thankful she brought me into this World & did her best to raise my brother & myself to be genuinely good human beings. The ache in my heart feels like it´s here forever but I know she´d want us to live without heartache & carry on living happy, healthy lives. Mom, I love you so much , I wish for more time with you but for now I´ll hold onto the good & beautiful moments we shared. Love you Mom you´re loved & missed immensely. Until we meet again

My heart is with everyone who loved Ramona. I wish u could have held her before she left. I only got to do that in my heart. I wish we had discovered one another sooner. In our short time knowing one another, she exuded generosity and kindness, always trying to uplift others. She always spoke lovingly of friends and family, I will truly miss our conversations. Rest peacefully dear sister - hoping we can still meet one day.
