Ronald Dale Washington, 72, passed away Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at his home in Houlka, MS. Ronald spent his life farming the fields of Pontotoc, Calhoun, and Chickasaw Counties. He enjoyed sitting on the back porch overlooking the bottom or catching up with old friends. You could find him heading over to check out the MS River or the crops in the Delta. Farming was his life, but nothing compared to being a husband, father, and papaw, that was his greatest joy in life.
Ronald is survived by his wife, Nancy Brasher Washington; son, Ryan Washington (Jenny); grandchildren, Jada Washington (Chase), Rody Washington, and Raylon Washington; brothers, Donald and Charles Washington; and sister, Linda Kay Davis (Clyde).
He was preceded in death by his parents, K.C. and Dorothy Washington.
