George Ronnebaum Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
George was born on August 8, 1934, in St. Joseph, Missouri, the youngest of twelve children born to George and Elizabeth (Dalsing) Ronnebaum.
On August 21, 1956, George was united in marriage to JoElla Stallbaumer at St. Patrick's Church in Corning. He was a lifelong member of St. Patrick's Church, where his faith remained an important part of his life. This past August, George and JoElla joyfully celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary. Together, they made their home in the Corning and Centralia area, where they raised their family.
George was a lifelong farmer and rancher. He worked for Charlie Frye on his farm and enjoyed attending livestock auctions and visiting the stockyards. Later, he was employed by Nemaha County in the Road and Bridge Department for 14 years before retiring. Never one to sit still, George began a salvage yard business after retirement-a venture he considered more of a hobby than a job.
Family was at the heart of George's life. He loved spending time with his large family, especially during holidays and birthdays. His greatest joy came from seeing everyone together and sharing in those special moments.
Survivors include his wife, JoElla; his children, Jane McClain (Sam) of Onaga, Dennis Ronnebaum (Bernice) of Centralia, George Ronnebaum Jr. (Tiffany) of Onaga, Donna Ronnebaum of Onaga, Betty Merriman (Scott) of Onaga, Mark Ronnebaum (Darlene) of Centralia, and Cathy Joseph of Frankfort; 39 grandchildren; 41 great-grandchildren, with three more on the way; and three great-great-grandchildren, with one expected soon; along with many nieces and nephews.
Rosaries will be prayed at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday, November 7th at the Lauer Funeral Home in Seneca.
Mass of Christian burial will be 10 a.m. Saturday, November 8th at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Corning. Burial will follow in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Corning.
Memorials can be given in George's memory are to be St. Patrick's Church, and sent in care of the family.
