Obituary
RONALD EUGENE WICKER
Ronald Eugene Wicker, 79, of Tecumseh, MO passed away on December 17, 2015 at his home surrounded by his loved ones after a long struggle with lung cancer. He was born on March 27, 1936 in Louisa, KY, one of six children born to Lawrence "Tadge" Wicker and Ethel Osborne Wicker.
On May 12, 1956, Ron was united in marriage to Marilyn Noel in Ashland, KY. Ron worked at Westinghouse for 12 years and was later educated in Boat Repairs.
He relocated his family in 1974 to Glendo, WY to work in Boat repairs at the Glendo Marina. In 1979 Ron and Marilyn bought the Bellwood Motel and Ron opened his own Boat repair and sales "Bellwood Boats" which he operated with his wife until they retired to Missouri in 2000. Ron was ordained as a Deacon in the General Baptist Church April 24, 2011.
Because of his upbringing he was able to live off the land. He could identify just about any plant or tree around him and he shared that wisdom with any and all who were interested in learning. He loved to grow lots of food in his garden to live off of through the winter as well as to share with family and friends. Ron also loved to study and share his wealth of knowledge about the Bible. He was not only able to remember just about any scripture you could ask about but he also could tell you book, chapter and verse for where it is found.
Ron is survived by his wife Marilyn Wicker of Tecumseh, MO as well as his three children Ronnie (Rhonda) Wicker of Glendo, WY, - Kathy (Gary) Engling of Cheyenne, WY - Tim (Louann) Wicker of Douglas, WY; four Grandchildren and six Great Grandchildren; three sisters - Betty, Mary, and Jewel all of Ohio; one sister-in-law Trudy Wicker of GA.
He was preceded in death by his father and mother, brother - Willie Wicker, sister - Becky Hamby, granddaughter – Crystal.
The family would like to thank the Cancer Treatment Center of West Plains - Riverways of Ozark Medical Center and the First Responders from the Tecumseh Fire Department.
No local services are planned at this time. Arrangements are by Clinkingbeard Funeral Home, Gainesville, MO.
