Ramona DiMarco Obituary

Ramona DiMarco

Ramona DiMarco passed away at her home in San Francisco on January 29, 2015. Ramona was born in San Francisco on August 5,1954 to her late parents, Frank and Pauline DiMarco. She graduated from the Convent of Sacred Heart in San Francisco and attended Brandeis University before beginning a 30-year career in the Engineering Department of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. She was working in the Livable Streets program at the time of her passing.

Ramona was a San Francisco native-daughter original. Her intelligence and incisive wit always made for interesting conversations and served her well in representing many of her co-workers as president of the Technical Engineers Chapter of the IFPTE Local 21. She was engaged with the world on many levels and rarely hesitated to offer an informed opinion. She will be missed by her family, a wide and diverse circle of friends and the organizations for which she generously volunteered.

Ramona is survived by her sisters Stephanie DiMarco, Suzanne Rebstock, her brother Frank DiMarco, Jr., their spouses and numerous nieces and nephews. Private family services are planned.

With heartfelt condolences and trusting in the mercy of Our God May Ramon´s be enjoying the consolation of being in the presence of love unending and pure.
I knew her in High School as one of my classmates. She was very witty and you could tell there was a lot going on behind her dark penetrating eyes. She was always kind to me and had a great smile.
I love you Ramona, pray for us on this side of the veil and may your family always treasure your unique personhood.
With love,
Carmen Rojas Maguire

Ramona was a Light to many people. Despite her physical challenges, she was dedicated to helping others through her union work, First Place, Living Sober and Stepping Stone. She was a very creative and spiritual woman who believed strongly in the afterlife. Thank You, Ramona, for letting me be a part of your life.

DiMarco family, please accept my hugs and love on behalf of the class of '72. I last spoke with Ramona at one of our reunions. Outspoken, opinionated, feisty Ramona.

This is very sad news. Ramona and I attended Girl Scouts together as well as Convent. I remember many fun scout outings with Ramona as well as visits to Ramona's home to see her beautiful birds and horse. She was brilliant. We were all very happy when she attended one Convent reunion but none of us knew how to keep in contact with her. I have no doubt she was perfectly suited to her union work and made an enormous contribution. Ramona was a wonderful friend and it is nice to know of all the contributions she made to help others. I will always remember her smile.

We have lost a very kind and generous spirit. She was a devout trade unionist who volunteered many hours of her time for the benefit of her union membership.
