Born on June 23, 1937, in Mangum, Oklahoma, to Bill and Pauline (Carlos) Wilhite, Ramona attended Ozark School west of Granite before graduating from Mangum High School in 1955. She united in marriage with Jim Chapman on June 18, 1954, in Hester, Oklahoma, sharing sixty-four beautiful years together until Jim’s passing in 2019. Ramona dedicated herself to serving others, beginning her career at Mangum City Hospital in 1962 and retiring in 2004. A devout member of the First Baptist Church in Mangum, she found joy in her faith and in nurturing her family, particularly her beloved son, Mark.

She had a special relationship with her beloved Yorkie, Rowdy and together they found solace and endless amusement in each other’s company. Ramona found fulfillment in caring for those around her. She leaves a legacy of love and devotion to her family, her community and to Jesus Christ.
