Roni Marie Pugh, 49, of Beaumont, died Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at Memorial Hermann Baptist Beaumont Hospital.
A native of Beaumont, Roni fought a long and courageous battle with cancer. Roni loved to volunteer at St. Elizabeth and Baptist Hospitals as well as the Julie Rogers Gift of Life Program, and was highly regarded in her work.
