Ramona Hagerman, 85, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 28, 2014 at Bridgton Health Care Center.

Ramona was born Feb. 8, 1929 in Hodgdon, the daughter of Bill and Nellie Tidd. She had one sister and two brothers.

On April 15, 1948, Ramona married Robert B. Hagerman and began their 50 years of marriage together in Houlton. They later moved to Presque Isle, where they were active members at the Bethany Baptist Church. Ramona taught Sunday School and was the church librarian for many, many years.

Ramona was a loving and caring mother and wife, a devoted Christian and an avid animal lover. There wasn’t a stray around that didn’t melt her heart.

Ramona worked as a clerk in Day’s Jewelry, Grants and Zayre’s department stores.

After retirement, Ramona and Bob spent their winters in Lakeland Fla. In the summers, they worked in the north Maine woods at the Telos Checkpoint for many years, making many friends and enjoying all the wildlife they saw.

Ramona is survived by her children, Ronald Hagerman of Hephzibah, Ga., Rhonda Goupil of Naples and Richard Hagerman of Saco; her four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; her brother, Darrell Tidd of Hodgdon; and many nieces and nephews.

Ramona was predeceased by her loving husband, Robert Hagerman; her sister, Jeanette Beaulieu; and her brother, Gordon “Sonny” Tidd.

A memorial service was held on Wednesday, April 2, 2014 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Hall Funeral Home, 165 Quaker Ridge Road, Casco. A spring interment will be planned at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to Harvest Hills Animal Shelter, 1389 Bridgton Road, Fryeburg, ME 04037.
