Ronald Leon Mushel Sr., 70, of Medford died May 18 at his home.

He was born on June 15, 1944 in Medford to the late Delores (Schoenfeldt) and Leon Mushel. He graduated from Medford High School and was formerly married to Lynette Peterson, of Medford.

Ron worked as an auctioneer and livestock purchaser for numerous livestock companies in the Central Wisconsin Area. He enjoyed playing cards and watching sports, especially the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers. His true passion was working with livestock and horses, and volunteered much of his time at the Rodeo Grounds in Medford. Ron made friends easily. Ed Brecke and his family made a considerable impact in his life and will always be remembered as members of Ron's extended family.

He is survived by his children Jennifer Ann (William) Wilson of Oswego, Ill, and Ronald Leon Mushel, Jr. of Marshfield; a brother, Gene (Sandy) Mushel Marshfield; grandchildren Hope (Eric) Jannusch of Geneva, Ill. and Alexis Mushel of Marshfield; a great-grandchild, Kayla Jannusch and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in honor of Ron may be given to his family, for designation at a later date.
