Celebration of Life: Newt Ronan

Newt Ronan

Newt Ronan

The family of Newton Ronan would like to invite his friends and loved ones to a celebration of his life at Altamont Reformed Church at 129 Lincoln Ave. at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 19, 2021. As Dad wished, there will be singing, so if you’re vaccinated masks are optional. All unvaccinated people are required to be masked. 
Since his death we have discovered that Dad has touched more lives than we ever realized. Gail Kidder, Deborah McKee, Martha Davis, and their families are grateful for all the love and support we continue to receive to this day.
