Ronald Herman Kline

Ron Kline went to heaven on August 27, 2021 at the age of 86. Ron was born to Herman and Pensa Kline on November 17, 1934. Ron spent most of his life in the Olympia area where he graduated from Olympia High School in 1953. He married Roberta (Bobbye) Moore on Nov. 2, 1957 and had 2 daughters, Janet and Debbie.

Ron worked many jobs including his first job as a newspaper carrier for the Daily Olympian, a service attendant, and at his Uncle Chet’s gas station. He worked most of his career for AT & T where he retired in 1990 after 35 years of service.

Ron’s hobbies in his earlier years included dirt bike riding, fixing old cars and hunting. He and 3 buddies appeared in the Daily Olympian with a bear they had shot. He continued to tinker on cars and had an avid woodworking shop. His slogan was “you can never have too many knives, guns or flashlights!”. He also had quite a collection of eagles and Mickey Mouse items. He dressed the part of a cowboy (although he never owned a horse) with a collection of fancy boots and cowboy hats. Vacations were always important to Ron and he took his family to the Oregon Coast twice a year.

Preceding Ron in death: his sisters Stella, Ethel, Aimee and parents Herman and Pensa. Ron leaves behind family including his sisters JoAnne and Rose, 2 daughters Janet Lohrengel (Jerry) and Debbie Kitchen (Rick), 4 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. A service will be held at Grace Community Church in Woodland, WA where Ron attended with daughter Debbie and her family.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at Grace Community Church in Woodland Wa on Thursday September 9th at 1pm. Grace address: 1311 Lewis River Road, Woodland WA, 98674. (Between Snap fitness and Grocery Outlet). Everyone welcome.

In lieu of flowers, please take your family out for ice cream in Ron’s honor! Ron loved ice cream- we believe the love of ice cream was genetic!
