Ronnie Sue Barnett

On the morning of December 17, our beautiful, funny, outgoing, fearless, joyful, inquisitive, unfiltered, generous, faithful, loving wife and mother ran into the loving arms of her Lord & Savior.

Ronnie was born on September 15, 1940 in Akron, Ohio and lived in Firestone Park all her life until moving to Chippewa Township, Doylestown, Ohio in 1995. Ronnie graduated from Garfield High School in 1958, and married her husband Jack in December of 1959. Ronnie was active in Firestone Park Community Citizen's Council, PTA, Akron Christian Women's Club and was a member of The Chapel on Fir Hill and Fellowheirs & Prime Time A.B.F. since 1976. 

Ronnie's joy was in the Lord, her family, homemaking, entertaining family and friends, cooking, gardening, painting, music, wildlife and nature, but especially children. She was Gramma Ronnie to all of them.
