Ronna Jean Wuttke
Body

On April 2nd, 2022, Ronna Jean Wuttke, wife, mother, sister and dear friend, suddenly and unexpectedly ditched us to tour with the Grateful Dead.

Awaiting her arrival at the ‘Go to Heaven’ concert, are her husband Dave Wuttke, her parents, Earl and Beverly LaFlamme, as well as numerous other friends and family who all left too soon to get a good seat.

Ronna was an incredibly gifted artist who was known throughout the ‘gourd’ community for her realistic and extremely detailed wood burnings, her never-ending optimism and for the soft smile that was always on her face, rain or shine.  Ronna was creative, kind, and never met a stranger in her life.

Still waiting in line for tickets are her 4 amazing brothers (she would have agreed with amazing, may have added occasionally obnoxious and hard-headed though!): Earl LaFlamme Ill and his wife Claudia from Edgewater, FL; Brian and his wife Diane from Wilmington, DE; Keith and his wife Maureen from Belchertown, MA; and Lance from Bryson City, NC; her 4 loving children (also occasionally obnoxious and hard-headed!): Zachary Adams and his wife Lacey of Denver City, CO; Jessica Newton and her husband Jason of Rolla, MO; Jeremy Adams of San Diego, CA; and Ashley Misner Adams and her wife Melissa of Sevierville, TN.  Also cherishing their memories with Ronna are her 7 grandchildren, many nieces and nephews, countless friends who were blessed with having known and spent time with her.

In lieu of flowers, Ronna’s family would ask that donations are made to P.A.W.S. Animal Shelter in Bryson City: http://www.pawsbrysoncity.org/donate.html
