Ramona Anita Weigus (nee Caracheo), 50, passed away April 30, 2019 in Marietta, Georgia. Beloved wife of Brian Weigus; loving mother of Brian Matthew Weigus and Emily Alexandra Ruth Weigus; dear daughter of Policarpo and Sally Jo Caracheo; cherished sister of Celia (John) Banks, Sara Garner, Abraham (Leah) Caracheo and Jacobo (Nikki) Caracheo; dearest daughter in-law of Richard and JoAnn Weigus; fond sister in-law of Mike (Jennifer) Weigus and Beth Weigus; devoted aunt of many; dedicated friend to countless others. Ramona was born on September 4, 1968 in Elgin, Illinois. She graduated Elgin High School in 1986 and earned her Bachelors degree in Education from the University of Illinois in 1990. While at U of I, she met Brian and they married on July 13, 1996. She was employed with school district U-46 as a multi-age teacher for 12 years before "retiring" to focus on starting a family. Of course, Ramona could not stay away from the classroom and for the past 8 years she has shared her passion for reading with the students at St. Isaac Jogues School. Her family and faith were her foundation. Whether organizing family reunions, coordinating carpools, being team mom, volunteering throughout the school and church, staying late to help with cheerleading or listening to someone in need, Ramona was an example to all. Each one of her students and the women she supported through her Elizabeth ministry held a special place in her heart. Her quiet strength, loving heart, deep faith and generous spirit brightened the lives of all who knew her. Wife. Mother. Daughter. Sister. Aunt. Niece. Teacher. Mentor. Chauffeur. Chaperone. Volunteer. Ramona was all these things, but so much more. She will be missed more than words can express. Visitation Sunday, May 5th 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Sullivan Funeral Home, 60 South Grant Street, Hinsdale. Funeral Monday, May 6th, family and friends to meet for a 10:00 AM Funeral Mass at St. Isaac Jogues Church, 306 W. Fourth St. Hinsdale, IL. Interment Private.

I remember Ramona through our interactions when her children were in my preschool class many years ago. Ramona volunteered to help me with various projects and I soon saw first hand her organizational skills, knowledge of the art of teaching, and her innate understanding of young children. She was generous with her time and so very kind.

I have fond memories of Ramona when I was part of the Harriet Gifford staff. She was kind, friendly and always smiling. She had a passion to teach. I remember when she was leaving, she gave me a bookcase that she actually built herself. Ramona is in heaven greeted by her friend another Harriet Gifford teacher Ruth Patrick. May the souls of the faithfully departed by the Mercy of God Rest In Peace. Until we meet again Ramona

When my daughter (Denise Hansen, nee ertl) started school at the U of I downstate I forewarned her that finding a roommate was the hardest thing to do in college. She found a most wonderful girl, Ramona, as a roommate. Immediately they were friends sharing their life and values together then and now. I will always remember her, and proud of her as a teacher, mother, and loyalty of friendship.
Thanks Ramona.
