Survivors include her daughter Jackie(David)Needham; her son Allen(Trina)Mills; two grandchildren Michael and Laura; one brother Joe(Linda)Haffner; numerous nieces and nephews including Brenda(Tony)Levitt; special grand-niece Ashley(Adam)Moore and special grand-nephew Joel Levitt; two great nephews.

We truly enjoyed Romana's sense of humor and stories of growing up in Iowa. Romona was a wonderful friend and neighbor. She will be missed. God bless Romana and her family.
