Toni Ramirez "Knudtson" Obituary

Toni AKA Ana Marissa

Toni AKA Ana Marissa, of Costa Mesa, California, passed away on January 31st; surrounded by love, faith, and family.

Toni was an artist in both spirit and practice, a lifelong lover of music, and a devoted student of world history. She was endlessly curious and found beauty in learning, creativity, and quiet reflection. She loved the ocean deeply — the salty sea air, the sound of the waves, and the sense of peace she felt by the water.

Her faith was central to who she was. It guided her life, brought her comfort, and shaped the way she loved others. She carried her beliefs with humility and grace, often expressed through prayer and simple acts of kindness.

She is survived by six siblings and a large, loving extended family, including many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and nephews, and great-nieces and nephews, all of whom she adored. She also leaves behind cherished friends who became family and who will miss her dearly.

Known for her warmth, her gentle humor, and her ability to make people feel truly loved, Toni had a way of leaving a lasting impression on everyone she met. Her love for her family, her faith, and the simple joys of life will continue to live on through those who were blessed to know her.

Tía Toni will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
