Richard Lonning Obituary
April 3, 1930 - January 30, 2025
Richard L. "Dick" Lonning, 94, of Mason City, Iowa, passed away on January 30, 2025, at MercyOne North Iowa Medical Center, Mason City.
Richard was born on April 3, 1930, in Thor, Iowa, to Lennie and Leone (Hansen) Lonning. He graduated from Waukon High School in 1948 and later worked as a bus driver for Jefferson Lines. On October 6, 1965, he married Roxann Styve in Decorah, Iowa, and they shared many wonderful years together until her passing in 1996.
Dick was a devoted family man who enjoyed spending time with loved ones. He found joy in listening to KCMR, sitting outside on nice days, and watching basketball and football games. He also had a love for polka music and a cold Busch Light.
He is survived by his children, Jeff (Lani) Lonning, Jan Hedrick, Kyle Lonning, and Kim Bresnahan; his grandchildren, Taylor and Danny (Baylee, Chase, Montana), Nick and Corey, Jordan and Samantha (Tula, Liam), Jake, Sadie (Kyler), Whitney (Ava, Norah), Katie and Dillon (Ruby, Kai, Banks), and Pablo (Penelope, Elsie); and his brothers, Gary and Frank Lonning.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Roxann; his parents, Lennie and Leone; and his brothers, Dennis, Chuck, Phil, and Roger.
Dick's memory will be cherished by his family and friends. As an avid listener of KCMR, please consider memorials left in his name to the radio station.
He will be laid to rest by his beloved wife, Roxann, at Elmwood St. Joseph Cemetery.
