Reina Ramona Lucero

A memorial service to celebrate the life of Ramona Lucero will be 
held at St. Francis in the Foothills, 4625 E. River Rd., Tucson, at 
10:45 a.m., Saturday, February. 21.

Reina Ramona Lucero, 53, died December 21, 2003, at City of Hope in 
Duarte, Calif., after a valiant effort to survive a bone marrow 
transplant. Born and raised in Oklahoma, she settled in Tucson in 
1976, where she became a true Southwestern desert dweller and beloved 
member of our community. In 1991, she moved to Northern California, 
received a divinity degree at Graduate Theological Union, and was 
ordained in the United Methodist Church. She had a life-long interest 
in learning, particularly about women's political and social history. 
She was a pivotal figure in the women's movement of the late 80s and 
90s, and especially in the growth of women's spiritual community. 
Ramona was passionate about life, loving with a big heart. She is 
survived by her husband, Alan Hinton of Suisun City, Calif.; 
daughter, Bree Chandler of Rochester, N.Y.; sisters, Pamela Lucero 
Johnson of Charleston, W.V., and Sherry Huffman of Hurricane, W.V.; 
brothers, Raymond (Buddy) Lucero of Kingston, Okla., and Vernon 
Lucero, of Dallas, Ga.; grandchildren, Kelsey and Cameron and Hinton 
of Bettendorf, Iowa; and Cora Hinton of Santa Rosa, Calif. At her 
request, Ramona's ashes will be scattered in the desert near Tucson. 
Memorial contributions may be made to the City of Hope National 
Medical Center, (626) 930-5483.
