Celebrating the life of Ramona Yolanda Baker Duho

Ramona Yolanda Baker Duho daughter of Ferinda Baker and Betty Jenkins, born August 31,1971. Ramona was born in Bronx Lebanon Hospital. She attended P.S. 156, I.S. 151, Walton Highschool, and Borough Manhattan Community College (BMCC). She attended Drake Business School where she received her Associate Business Certification in Accounting. Ramona then relocated to Arlington, Virginia to embark on a health care career. Ramona was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 2014. Her journey is one of courage, strength and filled with purpose. Until her sunset Ramona attended John Hopkins and Calvary Hospice support groups, National Ovarian Cancer Coalition walks, and raised awareness about ovarian cancer no matter whom she talked to or where she went. Mona was a mother, wife, sister, aunt, friend, but most important, she was a light to everyone that ever crossed her path. She never gave up hope and made sure that her family and friends knew she would fight. Mona loved music! She would sing and dance when happy, sad, through her pain and even to cheer up those who hurt to see her unwell. Mona spent her final days in good spirits with family and friends, making it her mission to laugh, smile and to the very end. Ramona leaves behind her husband Patrick K Duho. Two sons, Tyree Deshon Baker and Mawu Lorm Duho. Mother Betty Jenkins (Garfield), Father Ferinda Baker (Rita). Sisters Tanya Daniels, Unique Halpert (Eli), Sheresa Jenkins and Shonice Best. Brothers Sheldon Baker (Jessica) and Shon Jenkins. She also leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins and friends. The parents would like to send a special thank you to Ramona’s B.F.F.’s Sharion, Jessica, and Tamika for being with her, showering her with endless love, positivity, patience, support, kindness and LOVE on her journey to the very end.
