MINGOS, Ronald James, aged 63, of Virginia, passed away on October 11, 2023. He was born on March 15, 1960, the son of the late Robert Mingos. Ronald's life was marked by his dedication to serving his country. He served four years in the United States Marine Corps from 1977 to 1981. Following his military service, he attended Mansfield University in Pennsylvania, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. Ronald held various positions in the field of corrections within the Federal Bureau of Prisons, diligently working for the United States government until his retirement in 2012. Ronald enjoyed multiple hobbies including gardening and landscaping, woodworking, and small engine repair. These pursuits were a reflection of his love for craftsmanship and the simple pleasures of life. Ronald is survived by his mother, Pauline King Mingos Gandolph of Sayre, Pennsylvania; his devoted wife of 38 years, Linda Mingos; daughter, Mallory Mingos; and his caring son, Jacob Mingos.
