Remembering Ramon
9/15/1948 - 9/11/2020
Ramon Ballard was an integral part of Ozarks Romance Authors. Aside from having served as the board Vice President, he was a consistent presence at meetings, critique groups, and a variety of events that ORA has hosted over the years. His unique writing voice, lovable characters, and innovative stories have been a hallmark of ORA ever since he first shared them with us, and our world will be a dimmer one without them. We were incredibly saddened to learn of his passing on September 11, 2020, following a lengthy hospital stay.
Ramon gave our organization so much. We would like to attempt to repay that kindness by supporting his widow, Beverly, as she navigates the coming days, weeks, and months without her partner.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of experiencing Ramon’s writing, we encourage you to visit his blog or check out the books available.
Ramon, you were a great friend, terrific author, and just all-around wonderful person. Thank you for everything you gave us. We will miss you more than we can say.
Services for Ramon will be held on Saturday, September 19 at 3:00 Saturday at the Latter Day Saints Church, located at 4450 Farm Road 141. Masks are required.
If you plan on attending, please RSVP to ozarksromanceauthors@gmail.com by Friday at 3pm.
