Ronald Lester Parker, ‘Rocking Ronnie’

Ronald Lester Parker, 83, of Lewes, formerly of York, Pa., passed away peacefully Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2020, at Beebe Healthcare, in Lewes. He was born Dec. 27, 1936, in Lancaster, Pa., son of the late John L. and Louise (Statler) Parker.

Ron was a veteran and proudly served in the Army. He retired from Caterpillar and moved to Delaware over 35 years ago. Ronnie loved to spend time with his wonderful circle of friends, playing pool, listening, and singing karaoke, and cutting a rug on the dance floor. He earned the name "Rocking Ronnie." Ronnie also enjoyed the occasional run to Dover with his two sidekicks, better known as "The Three Musketeers." He will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.

In addition to his parents, Ron was preceded in death by his four sisters and one brother. He is survived by his two daughters, Shelby Blessing and her husband Donnie of Pennsylvania, and Brenda Lyle and her husband Brian of Pennsylvania; his five grandchildren: Vanessa Blessing, Shane Blessing, Travis Lyle, Tanya Cruz and Lyndsey Lyle; his 13 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren, all from York, Pa. 

Due to world events, there will be no formal services at this time. A celebration of Ronald's life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are being handled by Parsell Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Lewes.
