Ronald True Obituary
Ronald Charles True, the son of Everett and Evelyn (Rowher) True, was born Oct. 3, 1949, at Omaha, Neb. Ron was raised on a farm near Gretna, Neb., and graduated from Gretna High School in 1967. He soon began farming with his father, along with serving in the National Guard.
Ron was united in marriage to Darlene Anderson on Jan. 8, 1971, at Papillion, Neb. While living in Nebraska, Ron served on the Sarpy County Fair Board and was also in charge of the Springfield Rodeo in Springfield, Neb. In 1999, Ron and Darlene moved to a farm northeast of Villisca, where they raised cattle and row crops.
Ron loved John Deere tractors; he liked to collect them; and some he bought to restore. The grandkids always looked forward to his tractor rides. Ron enjoyed his weekly trips to the sale barn on Saturdays. He was so happy when their two boys, Chris and Kevin, came back to farm with him. When daughter Laura wanted a horse, Ron didn't get just one, he bought two of them for her to ride. He was a member the Strand Lutheran Church.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents.
Ron is survived by his wife, Darlene True of Villisca; two sons, Chris (Stacey) True of Villisca, and Kevin (Holly) True of Villisca; daughter, Laura (Matt) Salmieri of Sahuarita, Ariz.; six grandchildren, Delaney, Dalton, Tyler, Natalie, Garett and Hailey; sister, Colleen (Ray) Hartman of North Bend, Neb.; brother, Dennis (Denise) True of Gretna, Neb.; other relatives and friends.
May God bless his memory and give strength to those who mourn.
