Ronald J. Elligott, Sr

Wynantskill-Ronald J. Elligott Sr. passed away unexpectedly on January 27, 2025, the day after celebrating his 91st birthday.

A proud native of Troy NY, Ron was born January 26, 1934 to Patrick and Elizabeth, and lived on Ida Street with older brother Joe (Patrick Jr.) and younger sister Betty. While attending LaSalle Institute he met the love of his life, Mary Ann DeConno. They were married on April 14, 1956. Ron served in the United States Army at Fort Knox, KY.

Ron and Mary Ann raised three children, Ron Jr., Michael, and Susan in Wynantskill NY. Ron worked for 34 years as a letter carrier for the US Postal Service. Ron loved his boyhood pals, George Agars, Tony Bottillo, and Tom Comerford, his Marriage Encounter friends, and all the folks at the AOH hall.

In 2016 Ron and Mary Ann moved to Camden Maine, where Ron became something of a local, walking downtown to sit and sip a coffee by the harbor, and enjoying shows at the Opera House.
