Obituary For Ronald Jerome Mayne
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our father, Ronald Jerome Mayne of Clairmont Alberta on March 21, 2021 at the age of 87 years. He was born to parents Garfield and Mabel Mayne, on October 10, 1933, in Camrose AB. His beloved sister Carol joined the family on April 6th, 1939. Ron married Marita Franks on January 11th 1954 and together they had six children. Ron is survived by longtime partner Joyce Loskill-Davis, his children; Darrell (Donna), Garry (Trudy), Randy (Diana), Candice (Casey Carpenter), Darcy (Natalie) Mayne as well as Marita Mayne, niece Beverly Fahlman and nephews Greg & Doug Fahlman and his many grandchildren, great grandchildren & great great grandchildren. He is predeceased by daughter Debbie (at birth), Garfield & Mabel Mayne and his sister Carol (Fahlman).
As a young man Ron was a risk taker and had many adventures including being a jockey at the age of 13, Roman Standing horse racing & stock car racing. He enjoyed sports throughout his life including hockey, curling, golf and fishing.
He changed careers many times; Professional Truck Driver, Car Salesman, Hunting Guide for American tourists and Farmer. Ron and Marita purchased the Grande Prairie Shell Bulk Plant in 1974 and made it a very successful business. After his first bout of cancer Ron stepped away from the business and bought a farm near Clairmont and that became his passion. He loved working with his thoroughbred horses and watching them compete and spent the next 40+ years enjoying farming, gardening, family and socializing over coffee with his many friends.
Dad will be sorely missed for many reasons including his unique sense of humor, bad Dad jokes and of course his homemade pickles.
At Ron’s request there will not be a funeral service.
