Ronald K. Lennox Sr.

Born on June 4, 1937, to the late John and Harriet Lennox, Ron was a longtime resident of Kearny, NJ before retiring and later settling with his beloved wife, Mary, in Leisure Village in Lakewood, NJ.

Ron was a hardworking and faithful man, deeply committed to both his family and his faith. He proudly served in the National Guard and also served as an elder, preaching alongside his dear friend Bill at Preakness Reformed Church, where his words and witness reflected the depth of his devotion.

Ron was known for his remarkable sense of direction—he always knew exactly where he was going and could name multiple routes to just about any destination. That natural gift later led him to work as a limousine driver.

Above all, Ron was a devoted family man—husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. His soulmate was his beloved wife, Mary, with whom he shared a lifetime of love, partnership, and unwavering devotion. In their younger years, Ron and Mary enjoyed bowling together and were active members of leagues, earning many trophies and creating cherished memories along the way.

Ron was predeceased by his son-in-law, Brett, and his great-granddaughter, Alessa.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Mary Lennox; his dear children, Donna Pellegrino (Anthony), Ronald Jr., and Debra Leibold; his cherished grandchildren, Cassandra (Aaron) and Kailyn; his precious great-granddaughter, Olivia; and his siblings, Richard (Jane), Dennis, and Bonnie (Alex).
