Major Ronald A. McGregor

Thursday, December 28, 2023

Major Ronald A. McGregor, USAF Retired, departed this life on Dec. 24, 2023, at the age of 84 to join the Lord and his loved ones that traveled there before him. He died peacefully at the VA Community Living Center, Denver, Colo. He had no fear of death, and often said he believed in the "after life". Ronald was born to Margaret and 'Speck' McGregor on June 1, 1939, in Blytheville, where he was raised. He married the love of his life and high school sweetheart Elizabeth Ann Blackwell. It was without a doubt the most wonderful Christmas of his life as they were married on Christmas Day in 1959. Ron was immensely proud of his 26-year military service and equally as proud of his Scottish heritage and his more than 65 years of researching his family connections with and participating in the Clan Gregor (MacGregor) activities.

Ronald was preceded in death by his mother Margaret and father 'Speck' Alvie McGregor; sisters, Joann Pippin and Betty Alvis.

He leaves behind his wife Elizabeth Ann; sister Patricia Skelton; two children, Peggy McGregor and Scott (Melissa) McGregor; five grandsons, and four great-grandchildren.
