Joseph Ledger “Ronald” Henry
1933 – 2018

On Thursday, September 27, 2018 Ron Henry, late of Estevan, SK passed away at the Estevan Regional Nursing Home, Estevan, SK at the age of 85 years, twelve days after the love of his life passed away.

Ronald was born August 11, 1933 at Dana, SK where he spent his younger years working for farmers haying, picking stones, etc. Later, Ron worked for CP Railroad for a short time. Ron then went to work for Ramsey Bird Construction operating the asphalt plant, which he was very proud to do and he worked for this company until it concluded operations. By this time, Ron had met his life partner and moved to Estevan where Marge lived and farmed. For a few years he worked at Estevan Coal Company cleaning offices, he eventually retired to the farm and helped Marge and her sister with their farming operation. Ron kept the yard in good shape, whacking weeds around all the buildings and drove the grain truck during harvest. Ron and Marge always had a large garden which they tended together. Ron and Marge became the “parents” to a dog named Sheba, which brought them great joy. When poor health fell upon them, the farm was sold and Ron, Marge and Sheba moved to town.

Eventually both Ron and Marge entered the Estevan Regional Nursing Home where they remained until their passing which was a mere 12 days apart.

Ron was predeceased by his father and mother; a brother in infancy; sister June Jones; brother Ken Henry; sister Estelle and his partner of 30 years, Marge Matis.

Ron is survived by his “adopted” brother and sister Roger and Donna.

A Funeral Service will be held Monday, October 1, 2018 in the Chapel of Hall Funeral Services, Estevan at 10:30 a.m. with Bill Mann officiating. Interment will follow at Souris Valley Memorial Gardens.
