Ronald James Ellsworth
1950-2022
The passing of Ronald "Ronnie" James Ellsworth, husband of Joyce (Langley) Ellsworth of Seeleys Cove NB occurred at the Saint John Regional Hospital, Saint John NB on December 30, 2022. Born in Saint John NB on July 14, 1950, he was a son of the late George and Joan (Chalmers) Ellsworth. A loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, in addition to his wife, Joyce, Ronnie is survived by his two sons: David (Denise) Ellsworth and Jason Ellsworth (Annie Daigle) both of Seeleys Cove NB; his grandchildren: Kayla and Mackenzie; one sister: Dianne Leslie (Al Caldwell) of St. George NB; two brothers: John (Joanne) Ellsworth of St. Stephen NB and Wayne Ellsworth of Seeleys Cove NB; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
A true jack of all trades, Ronnie retired from Lake Utopia
Paper where he worked for many years and at one time he had even
served as President of Local #523N. To say Ronnie was a friendly guy
would be a total understatement. His sense of humor and his wit
allowed him to easily make friends with everyone he met. Once speaking
to Ronnie for an hour, it truly felt like you had a friend for life
and he was always one of the first to drop what he was doing to lend a
hand to those who needed it. A great storyteller, he enjoyed telling
tales and tinkering around his yard with his friends and sons. A
dedicated father and husband, some of his favourite things to do was
to go fishing with David and Jason or to travel the world with his
wife, Joyce. His presence will be greatly missed but he will be
forever loved by all who knew him.
