Moni Gilmore

Ramona "Moni" Gilmore passed away this week at age 81.

Moni was our community's strongest advocate for seniors for more years than most of us have lived here. Her voice was instrumental in creation of our Senior Center in the former fire station building at Lassen and El Dorado Hills Blvd., and in promoting an array of services and programs for seniors. Her presence was felt and welcomed in public meetings, where she spoke from beneath the broad brims of her well-known hats to advance the best interests of our elder citizens. She also served for nearly a decade on the Fire Department's board of directors.
 
We honor Moni Gilmore through our memories of her contributions to our community.
