Lamona Wynn

Price

Lamona Wynn Price, daughter of the late Willie Owen Freeman and Doris Faye Freeman (n. Mathes), was born April 22, 1961 in Ironton, MO at St Mary's Hospital and passed away on February 14, 2024 at Mercy Hospital in Saint Louis, MO. She was 62 years and 9 months of age. She was married on May 19, 2012 to Scott Lee Price, and they shared 11 years and 8 months of marriage. They are the parents of two daughters she raised: Laticia Wynn Garbarini (husband Christopher) and Holly Faye Avis (husband Andrew). She had three siblings: Alan Owen Freeman (wife DeeAnna), Michael Scot Freeman (wife Jeanne Marie), and Gregory Charles Freeman (wife April). On the Price side, she has the following living in laws: Parents, Ronald Lee Price and Virginia Lee Price and siblings Warren Dee Price and Nicholas Dean Price.

Mona was the Owner and Administrator of Silex Residential Home in Silex, MO which was the pinnacle of her dream, to have a life and career centered around giving, loving, and supporting others. Mona was baptized at a young age in Brushy Creek and sang in multiple choirs. In addition, she sang gospel music spreading the message at many Singings, Revivals, Homecomings and Funerals across Missouri. Mona's youth included a stellar athletic career as a cheerleader at Lesterville High School and a standout volleyball player for the Missouri State Champion, Lesterville Bearcats, in 1978. At the age of 29, while living in Kirkwood Missouri, her athletic ability gave Mona a great opportunity with a full-ride scholarship to play volleyball for Missouri Baptist University. She was a four-year starter and was able to turn her education into a successful sales career with multiple companies. This change in her life was all about her dedication to her two daughters, for wanted to ensure she could set them up for success. Once Mona accomplished this mission, at the age of 50, she set her eyes on pursuing a career focused on her passion as a faith-based servant heart. Mona, again, went back to work learning something brand new. This led her to ultimately being responsible for the care of more than 50 residents whom she loved as if they were her own family.

Mona was a friend, mom, sister, aunt, niece, grand-daughter, daughter, wife, and Mimi. She was woman who lived fiercely, loved deeply, gave immensely, fought tenaciously and never gave an inch. If you were visiting her in her home, the lake house, or the residence you would see all these qualities (sometimes within a 30-minute window). you would also see pictures on every wall as well as volumes of photo albums. You can be sure Mona would have an enormous breakfast or dinner that could never be consumed in one sitting, much less in a week. She never wanted anyone to go without.

Mona was everything to her grandchildren (Hunter James Garbarini, Larissa Wynn Garbarini, Chase Freeman Garbarini, Malia Faye Garbarini, Laney Faye Avis, and Drew Wynn Avis). They were everything to her.

Whether you were an aunt, uncle, nephew, niece, cousin, or stranger, it did not matter. Mona loved us all the same.

Mona has a special child, Chase Allen Wickliffe, who she is now reunited with in Heaven. While she will be dearly missed by all who loved her, we take comfort in knowing she is singing and rejoicing with Chase, Dausey, Billy Willie, Grandma & Grandpa Jellybeans, Otho & Gladys and all her loved ones who went before her to be with Jesus.
