Ramona was a member of the United Methodist Church in Deer Park and was an avid bowler, loved to play pinochle and bingo and watch those “Lousy Mariners.”
She also did crochet work, made quilts and had many other activities including the Homemakers’ Club and Knitting Club.
A funeral service honoring Mrs. Cline will be in Deer Park at 10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 12, 2011, at the United Methodist Church with Pastor Sue Robinson officiating.

As Ramona always said, “Hug Your Family” for she was a real “Hugger.”
