Ramona “NA” had a heart that seemed to make room for everyone. To her grandkids and chosen family, she was simply “NA”, a source of warmth, laughter, comfort and unconditional love. Her presence made people feel safe, cared for, and truly seen.

She found joy in the outdoors and lived life with energy and curiosity. She especially loved swimming, gardening, paddle boarding and traveling. She was always happiest when near water, surrounded by nature, or sharing new experiences with those she loved.

Ramona dedicated 36 years of her life to the BC Ambulance service, serving her community with courage, compassion and resilience. Helping others was not just her profession, but part of who she was. She touched countless lives through her service and leaves behind a legacy of kindness, compassion and strength.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered for her generosity, her adventurous spirit, and the love she gave so freely. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She is Survived by her partner – Bob Johnson, Son – Blair Steiner (Karma), Daughter – Tanya Klimchuk (Shawn), Father – Bob Lister (Sylvia), Brother – Robert Lister (Marie), Grandkids – Kaydence, Trypp, Kammy, Chayse and Katherine, along with numerous other family members.

Ramona was predeceased by her Mother – Jeraldine (Jerry) Lister and Brother – Billy Lister.
