Ronald R. Wenstrom, 86, of Indianapolis, passed away February 23rd, 2024. He was born September 27th, 1937, in Chicago, to parents Raymond and Grace Wenstrom.

He was a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, dog-dad, and friend. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife Donna; his son Shawn (Christina) Wenstrom; brother Fred Wenstrom; nieces Terri and Cassady; and faithful canine Lexi.

He is preceded in death by parents.

The family is very grateful to Carol, for all the care and kindness you gave.
