Ronnie is survived by the love of his life of 31 years, Debbie Jarrell; son, Ralph (Amber) Jarrell; two daughters, Shari (Toby) Hoy and Jennifer Jarrell, all of Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania; two stepsons, Doug (Ashley) Thompson of Fairmont, WV and Destrey Thompson of Windridge, PA; five grandchildren; five step grandchildren; three great grandchildren; one brother, Rick (Carlene) Jarrell.
