Ramona “Mona” Burley passed away on December 19, 2014. She left this life to dance freely in the next. She was born in Rapid City and grew up in Hot Springs, SD. She was 54 years young, born on July 11, 1960. She was predeceased by her father, Justus Keith Westover and step father Claude “Rusty” McAdam, brother Keith Lee Roy Westover, and brother-in-law Delbert Jones. She is survived by her loving husband of 6 years Jerry “Jay” Burley. Mona is lovingly remembered by her Mother Mary Ellen McAdam and her 9 siblings. Her children; Jeff (Tiffany) McGowan and their two kids, Alexis and Brayden, Justin (Bethany) McGowan and kids David and Elizabeth. Jennifer (Albert) Blanks and their kids Gabrayella and Jeremik, Angela (Dawson) Reece and their son Declan. Misty Matsamas (Anthony Turner) and Kyleigh and their son Corbyn. Her step children Alaina (Mike) Bucys and their babies, Parker and Brooklyn. LeeAnn (Toby) Falcon, and their unborn child, and McQ Burley.
Mona had the biggest heart a person can have. She would do anything for anyone. She loved her children with everything she was. She was happiest when she was surrounded by family, but her heart sang the loudest when she was around her grandchildren. She was an amazing wife, mother, and grandmother.
She has a huge soft spot for animals, all kinds, especially her chickens. Heaven gained an amazing angel, and the world lost a great person. You will be greatly missed, but your memory will live on. Rest in paradise Mona Mom, we love you.
Services will be held at a later date. Stevenson & Sons Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
