Stephen W. Ronaldson, 81, of Haddon Heights
Stephen W. Ronaldson, age 81, of Haddon Heights, passed away suddenly but peacefully on September 6, 2026.
Steve, as he was known to all, was born on September 27, 1944, in Indiana to William and Marion (nee Engel). At a young age, his family relocated to Pennsauken, where he graduated from Pennsauken High School in 1960.
While working for the Hollingshead chemical company in Camden, he met his wife Maryann, who he wed on October 21, 1972. After having their first child 10 years later, they moved to Haddon Heights, where they raised their two children and have resided ever since.
In his youth, Steve was a passionate athlete, and that passion carried on past his playing years as a coach to his son and daughter, and as an avid fan of all Philadelphia sports teams. He gave his time to local sports organizations such as Haddon Heights Youth Athletics, serving on the board for many years and as its president.
Steve was always willing to try new things, and that was never more apparent than in his professional life. He worked as a warehouse manager, a small business owner and a freelance driver, among many other jobs.
