Ronald Parsons

Ronald F. Parsons went home to be with the Lord on January 12, 2020 at the age of 80.

He was born in Oshkosh on February 3, 1939 to Harold “Bud” and Mabel (Schultz) Parsons.

Ron joined the Army at the age of 18 and achieved the rank of Staff SGT; serving in Ft. Carson CO, Germany, Vietnam and Ft. Bliss TX.

He married Juanita Goedtke in 1961 and they settled in Menasha, where he worked at Gilbert Paper Co until his retirement.

He is survived by his wife, Juanita; 3 children, Karla St. Aubin, Bradley Parsons and Erica (Rich) Olson; 3 grandchildren, Benjamin (Samantha) St. Aubin, Morgan St. Aubin, Hannah (Ben) Hall; 2 great grandchildren, Emery and Elowyn Hall; a brother, Gary Parsons; sister, Sherry Caldwell and 3 nieces.

As per his wishes, no funeral service will be held.  A private, family memorial service will take place at a later date and his ashes will be interred at Central Wisconsin Veteran’s Memorial Cemetery in King.

Ron loved to hunt, fish, trap and camp, and was in his element in the wild. His happiest days involved animals and in lieu of a memorial fund, please consider donating to your local animal shelter.

The family would like to thank the staff of Olson Hall at WI Veteran’s Home in King, Dr. Bauer, and Heartland Hospice for their tender care.

Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
