Ralph Robert Roney, born November 28, 1943 in Westfield, WI to Harold and Lola Roney, passed away on December 1, 2025 at the age of 82.

After graduating from Westfield High School, Ralph joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany where he met his wife, Kay. Ralph and wife Kay were married 59 years. Their life together was spent in Phoenix, Winslow, Coronado and their beloved Sedona. After the Army, Ralph spent over 25 years with Valley National Bank and Bank One. After the bank, he joined Mold-In-Graphics, where he retired as CEO after 18 years of service. Ralph was also a proud member of many civic organizations including: 20-30 Club, Rotary, Sedona 30, the Marcus J. Lawrence Hospital Board and many others.

Ralph had deep love for dogs, enjoyed golf, traveling the world, attending and watching sporting events, and playing games with family and friends – he was always up for a game of Pinochle.

Ralph is survived by his devoted wife Kay (nee Williams), his children, Jeanette McCabe (Bill) and Dean Roney (Kristi), his four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

His generosity, charm and quick wit will be remembered and missed by all who knew him.
