Ramona Lynn Buquet (Mona), age 61, passed from this life into the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, November 30, 2016. She died of heart failure at her home in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Ramona was born in Denver, Colorado, on September 29, 1955, to Richard and Eileen Buquet. She was the first of 6 children. Mona grew up in Wildwood and Grayslake, Illinois, attended St. Gilberts parochial school, and graduated from Grayslake Community High School in 1973. She married and had 6 children, 3 sons and 3 daughters. She worked part-time for the U.S. Post Office.
Ramona was an accomplished artist and loved to express her talent through sketches, drawings, paintings and crafts. Mona was also a musician who played the piano beautifully and wrote poetry. She was a selfless person always caring for others above herself, giving to others even in times when she was in need. Her genuine love and kindness was experienced by all who knew her, as she was always there for her family and friends, going above and beyond to help others know how much she valued them. For over 10 years Ramona served the local chapter of AA in Sun Prairie 4 days each week by opening Forester Hall, making the coffee, preparing the meeting space, etc. for the many meetings that encouraged and gave hope to those struggling with addiction. Mona was an avid gardener, loved animals, nature, and all of God's creation with the exception of snakes and reptiles. Ramona celebrated life always looking for the positive even in the midst of pain and hardship.
Ramona is survived by her mother, Eileen Kendall of Grayslake, IL , father Richard Buquet of Stillman Valley IL, sisters Kathy Buquet of Lake Villa, IL, Lory Porter of Wadsworth, IL., Karen Brockman of Franklin, WI., and brother Richard Buquet II of McKinney, Texas. Mona is also survived by her 6 children, Cassandra, Alicia, James, Thomas, Timothy and Annalee, of Wisconsin and Illinois, and more than a dozen grandchildren, including Kassandra, Bianca, Gino, DiAngelo, Audriana, Victoria, Nicholas, Alexis, James, and Amber. Ramona was preceded in death by her brother Richard Buquet Jr., and her granddaughter Keyla.
A Memorial service is scheduled for Wednesday, December 7, 2016 at 3 PM, at Tuschen-Newcomer Funeral Home, 302 Columbus Street, in Sun Prairie.

I know it has been some time since you have passed on....
Even today, I still look at the front door in hopes you come back. I check my phone daily to see if you have left me a message, but I know now that there won't be one but regardless I still look.... I remember all that you have taught me and all you have done for us. The way you laughed still rings in my head. The way you painted the world before you was a true gift that you loved to share. Your heart was cracked and yet you remained unphased by all that life threw at you. Young at heart. A mind full of imagination with each story and joke you told. The creativity that would show in you hands as you created the impossible and the experience of life that showed in your warm eyes. When I found myself in pain or when I felt alone, I would think of you. I would think back to the music you would play. Each note ringing in my head as the memory played on. What you shared and had the passion for was truly magical, What I wondered is how you did it all. Even in the darkest of times, you threw the world a smile and laughed. Held out your hand for others to take when they were low even when you had little to offer. It still boggles my mind that you are gone and I refuse to believe so....But I understand you are in a better place. With all those that have gone before. With Muffin, Kayla, Grandpa Carl... I can not express to you enough, Nana, how much I love you and how much I miss you...I thank you for letting me confide in you. Thank you for every time we went out to lunch together, For every walk outside. Every cup of tea... I still pray for you every single day. We miss you, Nana...
-Love
Tori.
...One of your Babydolls....

For some reason my first message did not "take" but isn't that par for the course. I miss you, you old cuss. I look up at your darkened windows and shake my fist every time I walk by your apartment. But alas, you are with Muffin; I know how much you missed that dog. My condolences to your family; you were a very special woman. RIP old friend! =( jb

I don't know how she managed to take care of all her large families, friends, neighbors, and those-in-need; but she did it. She found a way, found the strength, kept that great 'up attitude' of hers, and forged ahead. And, she always did it with dignity, a smile on her face, and her quick jokes along the way that kept everyone laughing!
Ramona had those great gifts of caring, giving, and making peoples lives better through her work & home efforts, her smiles & laughter, and her Great Attitude!
She will be in our hearts and on our minds forever.
