Ramona L York, 69, of Columbia, South Carolina passed away November 8, 2025, at Prisma Health Baptist Hospital, Columbia, South Carolina. She was born on September 5, 1956, in Okinawa Japan to the late Ernest and Shigeko (Nakayama) Leclerc. Ramona lived a life defined by strength, service, and unwavering faith.

A dedicated professional with a tireless work ethic, Ramona served as a supervisor with UPS for many years. In addition to her career in logistics, she proudly held the role of Special Deputy with the Richland County Sheriff's Department since 2011. Her commitment to public service was a reflection of her deep sense of responsibility and care for her community.

Ramona’s life was anchored by her Christian faith. Even as she faced continuous health challenges, she remained steadfast in her beliefs. Her faith gave her strength and helped her endure with grace and courage. She was the epitome of resilience—never faltering in the face of adversity.

She was a devoted mother to Dana Smith, Mariah Irby (and son-in-law Paul Irby), and Michelle Newman (and son-in-law Ryan Newman). Her love for her grandchildren—Paisley Irby, Luke Irby, and Ellie Rae Newman—was boundless. Known affectionately as “Oba,” Ramona cherished every moment spent with them. She taught them lessons that will last a lifetime and showered them with unconditional love.

Ramona also shared close bonds with her siblings: Richard Leclerc, Robert Leclerc, and Nanette Leclerc. She carried forward the memory of her parents, Ernest Leclerc and Shigeko “Bonnie” Leclerc, as well as her brother Mitchell Leclerc.

Her passions brought joy not only to herself but to those around her. She found peace tending to her plants and took pride in creating beautiful Diamond Dots art and handmade jewelry. Her home was filled with warmth—and often the playful energy of her beloved dogs and cat.

To those who knew Ramona personally—whether as a friend, sister, mother, grandmother, or colleague, she was a source of inspiration. She fought fiercely for those she loved and stood tall through every trial life presented. The world has lost an extraordinary woman whose legacy will live on through the lives she touched.

May Ramona’s memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.

The family will receive friends at Thompson Funeral Home at Greenlawn Memorial Park, 845 Leesburg Road, Columbia, SC 29209, on Thursday, November 13, 2025, from 1:00PM until 2:00PM. A Funeral Services will follow the family visitation in the chapel of the funeral home. The burial will follow the chapel service at Greenlawn Memorial Park, 845 Leesburg Road, Columbia, SC 29209.

Welcome to Greenlawn Memorial Park

From the beginning, Greenlawn has endeavored to provide only the finest in service and facilities for families in their time of need. An early Greenlawn brochure stated, “We envision a future of continuous growth, increasing beauty and loveliness. Our past, successful as it has been, is only our ‘prologue’.”

The first thing you will notice upon entering the grounds at Greenlawn is the natural beauty of dogwoods and crepe myrtle as well as centuries old live oaks and other mature trees of various species. The pond at the center of the memorial park serves as a focal point for our annual interdenominational Easter Sunrise Service which has been a Greenlawn tradition for over 50 years.

For those families who prefer other than in-ground interment, our Mausoleum provides the ultimate in above-ground entombment. Constructed of the finest domestic and imported marble, the Mausoleum was the first in the Columbia area and is still unmatched in its richness of detail and striking beauty. The Mausoleum Chapel, constructed as a wing of the mausoleum itself, is available for services in conjunction with funerals at Greenlawn. Niches for cremation urns are an integral part of the mausoleum, an excellent choice for a permanent memorialization.

A key element in our success in providing unsurpassed service through the years has been our ability to make arrangements for many families before the time of need. Approximately ninety percent of funerals at Greenlawn during recent years have been arranged prior to the death of the family member helping them avoid the stress of last minute planning. Our staff stands ready to assist at any time, but we strongly recommend that arrangements be made in advance for the sake of your family and your own peace of mind.
