Ramona Doreen Policella (Hyslop)

      Ramona Doreen Policella Hyslop         

Ramona passed away on Sunday, December 24, 2017 at Clark Regional Medical Center in Winchester, Kentucky. She was a native of Battle Creek, Michigan and a resident of Clay City, Kentucky at the time of her passing. She celebrated 50 years of marriage to classmate Stephen Hyslop in March of 2017. She spent a lot of her childhood studying dance, and traveled and performed in several venues. Ramona was a natural performer and she never met a stranger. She was known for her quick wit and fantastic sense of humor. She was loved by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was also an animal lover, and that is putting it mildly. She took in all strays. She would give them all names and nurse them back to health just like her patients. Ramona worked for Kelly Healthcare Resources while they lived in Michigan. She cared for many elderly homebound individuals as if they were her own family. She and her family moved to Lexington, KY., when Steve’s employer, Clark Equipment, relocated. Ramona worked for Equifax in Kentucky. Ramona especially enjoyed time spent with her husband on their property, working in her yard, planting flowers and tending to their swimming pool. They loved being outdoors together and spending time down by their creek, talking and reminiscing. She also enjoyed the few summers she and Iris spent at Toni’s place in Michigan, eating, bickering like sisters do, playing in the river and going to the casino. In addition to Steve, survivors included Ramona’s mother, Iris Rosenbrook Policella; one daughter, Jodie (Miguel) Villegas; two sons, Jason Hyslop and Anthony (Missy) Hyslop; three grandchildren, Nicholas, Madison and Ben Hyslop; three sisters, Tonella D. Gooding, Iris Policella and DiAnn L (Terry) Walter; one brother, Lucas D. (Joanne) Policella; and nieces and nephews..
