Ramona Lea Mackereth was born on July 13, 1936, in Kimball, Minnesota, to George and Louise (Arens) Mackereth. Mona grew up in Kimball along with her five siblings. She graduated from Kimball High School in 1954. Mona married the love of her life, Gerald Almgren, on January 22, 1955, in Kimball. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and hard work on their farm. Mona was a homemaker and devoted farm wife, balancing the demands of rural life while raising their three children. In 1981, they made the decision to move to the Fosston area, where they embraced new experiences. In 2002, Mona and Jerry returned to their roots in Kimball. Jerry died the following year in 2003. Mona stayed in their home for as long as her health allowed, eventually moving in with family.

Mona's passion for gardening allowed her to create beautiful landscapes that reflected her nurturing spirit. Winters spent in Arizona provided cherished moments of warmth and relaxation, and her dedication to quilting and embroidery brought warmth and comfort to countless family and friends. Above all, Mona loved being in the presence of her family and the time they shared together.

She is survived by her children, Gerri (Ron) McWherter of Dassel, Mark of Watkins, and Chad (Cindy) of Kimball; 4 grandchildren, Dillon (Misty) McWherter, Jerry (Stacy), Jessica (Oliver) Ling, and Joshua (Shelbi); 13 great-grandchildren, Lucy, Lindsey, Wyatt, Eden, Millie Jo, Ruby, Jude, Scarlett, Jace, Mason, Esther, Farrah, and Hailey; siblings, Patricia O'Fallon of Paynesville, Nancy Moyer of Watkins, Debbie (Lyndy) VanVleet of St. Cloud, and Ed (Sandy) Mackereth of Kimball; and many nieces, nephews, other family members and friends. Mona was preceded in death by her parents, George and Louise Mackereth; husband, Jerry; and sister, Betty Boline.

Mona's grandchildren will serve as urn bearers. Arrangements entrusted to Dingmann Funeral Care Burial and Cremation Services of Kimball.
