Ramona Fulford

03/06/1959 - 06/22/2025

Ramona Fulford passed away in the arms of her husband on the morning of June 22, 2025. Ramona, loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, and Aunt, was born march 6, 1959. She loved reading, fishing, gardening, and Auburn University football and basketball. But, her real passion was cooking for and with her family and extended family. Her food was delicious despite her own criticism that it was always dry.

She raised two boys of her own and she also helped raise their friends, a gaggle of young men who loved Ramona as though she was their own "Mama", which is what they all called her. Ramona had very many friends throughout her life, all of whom held a special place in her heart. She will be missed by more people than she could have ever imagined. At only 66 years old Ramona has touched so many lives that an entire book couldn't hold a proper obituary for her.

At the time of her death Ramona lived with her husband at 1258 Lee Road 47, Lot 9 Opelika AL 36804. Ramona was preceded in death by her Father, Wiley Grisom, her Mother Eloise Grisom, her Nephew Jeffrey Weed, and her Brother-in-law Emmett Fulford. She is survived by her loving Husband, Sam Fulford, her children Derek Fulford and Jared Fulford, her Daughter-in-law Stacey Fulford, her Grandchildren Hailyn Fulford and Dailee Fulford her step grandchild Faith Morris and a wide assortment of nieces and nephews and other family as well as her little dog Joey.
