Ronald F. Stewart, 85, of Lenox

Per Ronald’s wishes, all services will be private.

Ronald F. Stewart, 85, of Lenox died peacefully on November 17, 2024, at Berkshire Medical Center after a long illness. He was born on March 27, 1939, in Miami, Fla., to the late Myron and Katherine Thomas Stewart. He attended Fort Lauderdale High School, graduating in 1957. After high school, Ron attended Florida State University, where he obtained his bachelor’s degree in business.

Mr. Stewart worked for the Social Security Administration, in various different roles, lastly in the security department undertaking the audits. Ron enjoyed cooking, baking, and anything that involved being in the kitchen.

As Ron was known as the talker, his loving wife of 57 years, Martha Littlefield, was known as the listener. They were married on March 3, 1967, in Birmingham, Ala. They spent their lives together in Maryland and Alabama, and after their retirement in 2002, they made their home in Lenox.

Besides his wife Martha of Lenox, Ron leaves his siblings, Myrna Hall (Phil) and Charles Stewart (Steve), both of Florida, and his brothers-in-law, Dean Littlefield, James Ashworth, and Wayne Hamlin. He is predeceased by his two sisters-in-laws, Bobbi Jo Ashworth and Carol Hamlin.

Per Ronald’s wishes, all services will be private. Memorial donations in his memory may be made to the Staff Appreciation Fund at Kimball Farms in care of the Roche Funeral Home, 120 Main Street, Lenox, MA 01240. To share memories and stories, please visit the funeral home’s website.
