    • Obituary:

      Betty Jo Hood Ramboz, age 77, passed away peacefully in her home in Parowan, Utah on February 8, 2013 after a long battle with illness.

      Betty was born in Madill, Okalahoma on January 3, 1936 to William Elzie Hood and Mackie Jewell Crow. Betty was the middle of three girls in her family with sisters Ila Fay and Geraldine.

      In 1942 her family moved to San Bernardino, California where she attended school and was introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by life-long friends Doris LeBaron (Christiansen) and Gary Christiansen. Betty was baptized by Gary in April 1955. She graduated from Redlands High School in June 1955 and then attended Brigham Young University for a short time before marrying John David Ramboz on December 17, 1956. They had four sons: John Michael (Sharon), Mark Gregory (Jill), Steven Scott (Carolyn), and Bryan David (Whitney). In 1968 the family moved to Rockville, Maryland. Betty and John divorced in 1975 and Betty, along with Mark, Steven, and Bryan moved to Cedar City, Utah in 1977 (son Michel had joined the Navy). A short time later Betty built a home and moved to Parowan, Utah where she made many dear and close friends.

      Betty worked hard as a single mother raising four boys, working as a cafeteria lady at Parowan Elementary School, in the bakery at Alpha Beta, a cook at the Parowan Café , and a seamstress at a local sewing company, Visors by Lynn, for many years, and a quilter at Hurst Store in Cedar City. Betty also quilted from home for the last few years of her life.

      Betty remained active in the LDS church her entire life serving in many positions and callings over the years. She also served a full-time mission in the North Carolina Raleigh Mission in 1995.

      Betty is survived by her sister Geraldine, her four sons, 13 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents and her sister Ila Fay.

      Funeral services will be held Tuesday, February 12 at 11:00 a.m. at the Parowan 4th Ward Chapel located at 90 South Main in Parowan, Utah. A viewing will take place starting at 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. at the church. Graveside services will be held immediately after at the Parowan Cemetery all under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary.
