“My Life In a Nutshell by Ralph N. Broner”

I was born on March 9, 1943 in the country about eight miles north of Claremore, OK. I graduated from Sequoyah High School, Sequoyah, OK. In 1961, I was draft age and no one would hire me, so I joined the U.S. Navy and served in the SeaBee Battallion, Special Services Division and got out after four years. In 1967, I moved to New Mexico, where I met the “love” of my life, had our first date New Year’s Eve, and then married on February 6, 1968-“my beautiful, loving wife has remained by my side through thick and thin.” I spent my working career with Waukesha-Pearce Industries, Inc. from April 1, 1970 to April 1, 2005, then retired and traveled the 48 states by RV.

As a young man, overseas in the Navy, I accepted Jesus in my life in 1963, was sick when it was time to be baptized, but took care of that in December 2011 by joining First Baptist Church of Princeton and was baptized.

Ralph is survived by his wife, Elizabeth “Beth” Broner, son, Glynn and wife Patty Broner of Sadieville, KT;

daughter, Cindy Logan and husband Donnie of Benton, LA; granddaughters, Alyssa, Jazzmine, Kaylan and Mary Logan. He is also survived by his sister, Elsae Hollis of Quapaw, OK and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
