Age 72, of Granton, passed away in the early morning hours of Saturday, January 2, 2021 at Marshfield Medical Center after a sudden and fierce battle with cancer. A Funeral Service will be held privately for immediate family. The family will hold a Celebration of Life for Ronald in the summer of 2021. Ronald was born on June 26, 1948 in Marshfield, the son of Elroy and Irene (Cole) Schiller. On October 26, 1968, he was united in marriage to Janice Verna Sternitzky in Granton. He was most recently employed as a carpenter with Pittsville Homes. He enjoyed riding motorcycles all of his life and has owned many different motorcycles. He enjoyed four-wheeling and testing his skills with wood-working and making crafts. Ronald had the gift of gab and loved to “shoot the breeze” with family and friends. He loved to play the guitar and babysit all four of his grandkids. He will forever be remembered for his strong work ethic, his never-ending sassy jokes, his love for old country music, tractors, deer hunting and his love and devotion to his wife of 52 years, his children and grandchildren.
