Ronald Darrel “Ron” Lockard, 80, of Lebanon, PA, passed away peacefully on Friday, June 19, 2026, at Linden Village.
Born in Indiana, PA, he was the son of the late James Lewis and Laura Kinter Lockard. Ron was the loving husband of Nena Russey Lockard, and they would have celebrated their 42nd wedding anniversary this August. He proudly graduated from Purchase Line High School, Commodore, PA. Following high school, he worked in the mailing department for Kiplinger’s Washington Editors and the Mail Bag, Baltimore, MD. Ron was known to be a true Renaissance man. Building and crafting were where his creativity would come to life. Neighbors would come from far and wide to borrow his tools and learn how to use them. He enjoyed spending time fishing, antique cars, a good bargain, and generally being outdoors. He could be found listening to older country music and could always find a way to converse with others. He was a true people person who could make a connection with anyone.
Surviving, in addition to his wife, Nena, are his daughters, Sara Kelly, wife of Patrick, and Caitlin Lockard, wife of Philip Ebersole Jr.; three grandsons; brother, Thomas Lockard; and many nieces and nephews. Preceding him in passing are five siblings.
At Ron’s request, there will be no services.
