Ronald Leslie & Daphne Lorraine Metcalfe
"Silver hair, heart of gold" - Ronald "Now take care of yourself lovey" - Daphne
Ron and Daph were devoted to each other for over 50 years. They were proud parents to 4 daughters, 14 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandson.
Ron would tell his daughters and granddaughters how beautiful they were. He had the ability to make you feel like the only person in a room full of people.
Daph was selfless to her core, ensuring that everyone was taken care of before herself. Dessert was a staple meal in her household along with breakfast lunch and dinner.
