Ronald E. Plamondon

October 29, 1938 - June 13, 2020

Ronald Edward Plamondon passed away Saturday, June 13, 2020 at home with his family by his side after a valiant effort to fight cancer. He was born October 29, 1938 to Earl James and Blanche Marie (Gauthier) Plamondon in Lake Leelanau, MI. He had 7 siblings, Fred (Judy), Mary Lee (Noel), Jeanne (Robert), Ann (John) Paul (Wanda), Blanche (James) and Dan (Dawn). He married the love of his life Carol Jean (Dailey) June 25, 1960. He graduated from CMU in 1961 with a Bachelor’s degree and together they had 5 children, Marie Brown (Larry), Michael, Cheryl Ortmann (Don), Jim, and Mark; 8 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Ron worked for the F.W. Woolworth Co. for 30 years and then for the Target Co. until retirement. Ron loved to travel and visit family and friends all over the United States. He visited as many National Parks as he could and went to such places as Hawaii, Alaska and Japan. Ron loved sports, music, life, and telling a good story. He played baseball and basketball well into his 50’s and loved to watch his grandchildren and great-grandchildren play. He had a love for music and loved to be at “grandpa’s lake” whenever possible (Cedar Lake). Ron’s greatest joy was family. He was preceded in death by his parents and his wife and is survived by his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews with a total family extending into the 100’s. Mass of Christian Burial will take place Saturday, June 27, 11:00 AM at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Traverse City. Interment will follow in Traverse City's Oakwood Cemetery. Visitation will be held Friday, June 26, from 5-7 PM at Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home, with the Holy Rosary being prayed at 6:30PM. In lieu of flowers Ron’s family would be honored if you made contributions to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church or to the American Cancer Society. Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home and Cremation Services is caring for Ron and his family. Share condolences and view Ron’s tribute page at www.reynolds-jonkhoff.com.
