LOS ANGELES - Virginia Ramo (RAYE'-moh), a University of Southern California alumnus and patron who once funded a music building because she wanted it to bear her husband's name, died Wednesday. She was 93.

Her son, James, says Ramo died of natural causes at a Los Angeles hospital.

Ramo was married to Simon Ramo, a co-founder of the TRW aerospace company.

She also was a USC trustee, donor and a fundraiser.

USC's Virginia Ramo Hall of Music is named for her. Worried that her husband didn't have a building in his name, Ramo last year funded renovation of a building now known as the Simon Ramo Recital Hall.
