Ronald Ray Forshee

In 1959 Ronald married the love of his life, Mary Evelyn "Owens" Forshee. As with every life there were ups and downs, but they always had love. Into their lives came nine children: Gary (Janie) Forshee, Sandy Fondren, Danny Forshee, Virginia Kellum, Tommy Forshee, Mark Forshee, Tracy Forshee, Tiffany Forshee and Sabrina Woodward (Colton). From these children came fifteen grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren.

Ronald enjoyed old country music. He wrote several songs in his earlier years, a few of which were picked up by local radio stations. The outdoors was another passion of his. He appreciated the beauty and serenity that could be found while fishing. Ronald was an amateur archeologist using a metal detector that led to an impressive coin, arrowhead and old bottle collections. Whether gardening, visiting with family, enjoying the outdoors, watching a good comedy or sitting in the quiet listening to music, Ronald enjoyed the simple, yet important things in life.

Ronald was preceded in death by: his parents, Mack and Mabel "Helms" Forshee; his brothers, Charles and Donald Forshee, affectionately known as Doc or Dicky; his sister Wanda Lee Forshee; wife Mary "Owens" Forshee; son Mark Forshee; daughter Tracy Forshee; grandchildren Little Donald Parker, Heather Roberts, Katrina Forshee, Gracie Woodward, Addie Woodward and Culton Richey.

Visitation will be 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM Tuesday at Edwards Funeral Home. Funeral Services will be 2:00 P.M. Wednesday at Edwards Funeral Home Chapel, with burial to follow at Oak Cemetery.
