Ronald was born on August 15, 1952 to Russel T. Sisco and Maggie E. Mizell Sisco in Ponca City, OK. He was raised in the Marland area, graduating from Marland High School in 1971. After high school, he worked for the Ranch Drive and Kildare COOPs as a grain elevator operator. Later, he worked at ANCCO from 1978-1983 and then joined MALCO where he has worked since that time. His life was forever changed when he met his sister Denise’s best friend Cheryl Cook . Ronald and Cheryl were married on December 31, 1977 in Ponca City, celebrating 40 years of marriage and were blessed with 2 children. Ronald was larger than life in many ways. His stubbornness was legendary, but well tempered by his selfless, hard working, and silly demeanor. When he wasn’t tending to the machine shop, Ronald enjoyed mowing his yard, raccoon hunting, fishing, and walking his dogs Lucky and Sandy, as well as watching horse races, OSU Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers Football. However, nothing brought as much joy as spending time with his beloved grandchildren.
