Ron Manke Obituary
Ron was born on August 30, 1935 in Princeton, MN.
He was married to the love of his life Barbara Allen for over 60 years.
He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend.
He attended school for cosmetology and became a hair dresser which was his passion and he owned his own shop.
He is survived by his two daughters Denise and Valerie Manke; grandchildren Jayson, Lily and Drake and great-grandson Cyrus.
Ron had the ability to turn strangers into friends with his positive attitude, gift for talking and being a story teller which made him who he was.
He had many interests and hobbies too many to mention, which he felt was very important in life.
He will be missed very much by everyone he touched during his life.
Ron's celebration for life will take place on Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 11:00 AM at the Great Northern Depot in Princeton located at 101 10th Ave S., Princeton, MN 55371. There will be a light lunch served.
