Obituary for Ronald Gaylen Sellman
Ronald Gaylen Sellman passed away on Thursday, January 30, 2020. He was born on May 4, 1932 in Almelund, MN to Dewey and Ruth (Lindbloom) Sellman.

Ronald is survived by his daughter Ann Harper (Grady); his grandchildren W. Hayden Harper (Jhea), Ellie Harper and his great grandson, Grayson Harper.

Ronald is preceded in death by his wife, Molly, whom he lovingly cared for through her 20 year battle with Multiple Sclerosis; their son Eric who died one year after his mother; his parents, Dewey and Ruth; and his siblings Merle Sellman, Delores Rivard and Lowell Sellman.

Ron graduated from Taylors Falls High School and the University of Minnesota. Upon graduation, he entered the Army and eventually began a 27 year career with Cargill, Inc. holding management positions through out the United States. At the time of his retirement, he was president of G&M Stevedoring, a Cargill subsidiary.

Ron loved watching his grandson play football, listening to his granddaughter's travel tales, seeing his great-grandson's smile and a good Manhattan. He also loved reading, crossword puzzles and Fox News.

He will be greatly missed by his friends, neighbors and loved ones.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Memorial Mass at Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 1501 W Causeway Approach, Mandeville, LA 70471 on March 6, 2020 at 3:30 PM.
