Ramona E. Moore

It is with heavy hearts, we share the passing of Ramona E. Moore on January 11, 2026 at The Oaks at Bethesda in Zanesville, Ohio.

She was born on September 28, 1932 in Philo, Ohio, daughter to the late Ray E. and Clara (Howell) Dutro.

Ramona was a graduate of Philo High School as well as Muskingum College in 1949 with a BS in Sociology. She taught as a Physical Education teacher at John Glenn High School before marrying her husband, Donald L. Moore on June 12, 1954. At that time, she discontinued her career to become a full time home-maker. During her years of raising her children, Ramona was affiliated with the Trade & Spade Garden Club and a member of the Pioneer & Historical Society. She spent countless hours researching the family genealogy and served on several committees as well as being voted in as a two-time Regent of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, Muskingum Chapter. During her term as Regent, the Chapter celebrated their 100th Anniversary.

Ramona was a sixty-six year member of the Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church and in her later years volunteered at The Wilds, loved gardening, playing scrabble and euchre, reading, and supporting her children and grandchildren in their school and extracurricular activities.
