JOANN RONK
Surrounded by her children and the love of her family, extended family and friends, Bonnie Joann Ronk passed away on Saturday January 30, 2021.
Joann was born April 6, 1936 to parents Everett and Flora Graves of Fairview West Virginia. She has been a resident of the Jakes Run community for 48 years.
Joann was preceded in death by her loving husband of 54 years, Norbert Ronk Jr. and her grandson, Charles Steven Self Jr.
She was also preceded in death by brothers, Burl Graves and Walter Graves.
Joann, in her younger life wore many hats. She had been a beautician, bookkeeper, nursing assistant and a country store owner. She always liked traveling with her husband. On a moment's notice he would say "pack a bag, let's go" and she would be ready for any new adventure. She has always been a homemaker, a job in which she excelled. She loved cooking and baking and her cinnamon rolls, graham cracker pie and nut rolls were favorites of everyone who knew her. She was a very proud Mother and Nan and was always happiest when she had all of her children and their families under one roof.
Joann is survived by her daughter, Tamara (Steve) Self of Morgantown West Virginia, son, Norbert Ronk III of Crandall Texas, and son, Todd (Vernita) Ronk of Carrollton Virginia.
She is also survived by her grandchildren, Kassi (Josh) Holdren of Fairmont West Virginia, Joshua Ronk of Alexandria Virginia and Naomi Brooke Ronk of Crandall Texas.

She is also survived by several nieces and nephews in West Virginia, New Jersey, Florida and Michigan.
