Ronald Olderham

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald Dale Olderham, a cherished father and friend, who left this world on June 30, 2025, at the age of 75.

Ron is preceded in death by is parents, Stanley an Cecelia (Bost) Olderham, brothers, Robert, Jerry and Terry Olerham and sisters, Frances Waulk and Dorothy Glaze.
