In addition to his parents and wife, Ronnie was preceded in passing by sister, Joyce Ferguson and husband, Clark Ferguson, Jr.

Ronnie attended Bedford High School and was a member of the Everett Church of the Brethren.

Retiring from New Enterprise Stone & Lime Company, Ashcom Plant, he was employed there for 39 years. He was the foreman of the Lime Division taking pride in his job. Ronnie had many friendships that cultivated over the years of his employment. Some of those friendships continued until the end. Once he had completed 25 years of service, he became a member of NESL’s Quarter Century Club.

Ronnie was an avid Philadelphia Phillies, Eagles, 76er’s, and Flyers fan. He always watched sports on TV and enjoyed attending Altoona Curve games. He had a passion for having a beautifully manicured lawn and an immaculate vehicle. During the warmer months, you could always find him sitting on his front porch listening to music.

Ronnie was very well-liked and respected, always putting other’s needs before his own. He loved his family unconditionally and was very proud of each and every one of them and their accomplishments. He will truly be missed by them all.

Some of his most enjoyable times spent with Joanne were going for Sunday drives and out to dinner.

The family would like to thank UPMC Home Hospice for the outstanding care he received during this difficult time. A very special “Thank You” to nurses, Stacy and Krista, and his aide, Debbie, for the love and friendship shown to him. They have become a part of our family and we will be eternally grateful for the care and respect shown to our dad.

Funeral service will be held Wednesday, September 25, 2024, at 1 pm at the First Christian Church, Everett, with Reverend Robert Robertson officiating. Friends may call at the church on Wednesday from 11 am until the hour of service and share memories online at donelsonfuneralhome.com.
