Notes - Ronald E. “Meat” Barner, age 74, a resident of Premier Perry Village, passed away peacefully with dignity and grace on March 17, 2026.
He was born in Lewistown to the late Herman W. Barner Sr. and Olive I. Barner. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Susan K. Barner (Heckman). In addition to his parents and wife, he was also preceded in death by his four sisters: Sharon Barner, Connie Brannon, Nancy Coleman, and Louann Beers.
He is survived by his brother, Herman W. Barner Jr. of Marysville. Ron was blessed with three daughters: Billie Jo Deiter and husband Steve Deiter of Newport; Deanne Shelley and husband Patrick Shelley of Harrisburg; and Laura Nace and husband David Nace of Landisburg. He is also survived by his beloved grandchildren, Shawna Swartz and husband Dylan Swartz of Elliottsburg, and Jonathan Weller and wife Randee Weller of Duncannon. Ron was the proud great-grandfather of three very loved great-grandchildren: Keegan Swartz, Tucker Swartz, and Hazel Mae. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Ron worked for Conrail and later Norfolk Southern as an engineer for 30 years. He was an active member of the New Bloomfield Fire Company and the Perry County Fire Police. In addition, he coached West Perry Midget Football, served as a softball umpire in Perry County for many years, and was part of the chain gang for West Perry Varsity Football.
Ron’s family was his greatest love. He was a devoted father and grandfather who was always present for his family’s activities. He was loved by all who knew him.
Services will be held on Saturday, March 28, at Messiah Lutheran Church, 70 Limestone Ridge Road, Elliottsburg, PA 17024. A visitation will be held from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM, with the service to follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to your local fire company in Ron’s memory.
The Boyer Family is honored to handle the arrangements for the Barner Family.
