Obituary for Ronnie H. Singleton Ronnie Herman Singleton (November 9, 1942 – November 12, 2018) A loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Ronnie Herman Singleton went to be with his Heavenly Father after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s on November 12, 2018. Ronnie was born in Brodhead, Kentucky on November 9, 1942 (just celebrating his 76th birthday) to Herman and Mary (Craig) Singleton. He is preceded in death by Herman and Mary (his parents), Ed McWhorter (step-father), Brenda McMullin (sister) and Bobby Singleton (brother).
Ronnie was baptized into Christ at Mr. Roy Brown’s pond in the summer of 1964. He was a proud graduate of Berea College, and a lifelong member and longtime deacon at Gardiner Lane Church of Christ (Louisville). Ronnie was an avid runner, lover of sports (especially those that his children and grandchildren participated in), former member of the Jeffersontown Optimist Club, and volunteer with the Mason-Dixon Games.
He was presented with a prestigious Bell Award in 1987 through the Honored Volunteer Program. Professionally, Ronnie was co-founder of the Louisville Chapter of Certified Employee Benefits Council, formerly held the role Vice President of National Accounts at Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield as well as other key positions around the community. He was perhaps most proud of his designation as a Certified Employee Benefits (CEB) Specialist.
His greatest pleasure in life was most certainly his family, setting a wonderful Christian example of what it meant to be a kind, gentle and loving man. He leaves behind his wife of 54 years, Carol (Cruse) Singleton; his children, Stephanie Singleton, Holly Ashley (Jeff) and Adam Singleton (Michelle). “Papa”, a lover of ice cream, was beloved by his six grandchildren and one great-grandchild: Vincent Harlamert, Jack Singleton, Elizabeth Ashley, Clair Ashley, Julia Singleton, Jane Singleton and Chloe Harlamert.
Ronnie is also remembered by several siblings: Evelyn (Paul) Cruse, Janice (Jim) Parsons, and Patricia Pruitt. There are many, many cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws and other family who will also cherish his memory.
