Ramona Benton

Ramona is a lover of Galveston and the many extremes it has to offer. She was born at St. Mary’s Hospital and graduated from Ursuline Academy, both in Galveston. She has been both a school teacher and most recently a mental health professional, and is committed to the health and wellness of her community. A guiding quote for her life and work, from Sir Winston Churchill, is, “To every person there comes in their lifetime that special moment when you are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to you and your talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds you unprepared or unqualified for work which could have been your finest hour.”
