Ronald (“Ronnie”) L. Prewitt, 70, passed away peacefully at his Oxford home early on Christmas morning. Ronnie had many loves in his life, including the town of Oxford, where he was the last of his siblings to be born in their Oxford family home on November 10, 1945. Born to the late Ivory and Arvilla (nee Lutman) Prewitt, and with the exception of his time with the Delaware National Guard (1968-1970), Ronnie lived and completed his life in Oxford. He was born in Oxford, went to school in Oxford, was a longtime Oxford general contractor, worked at the Peoples Bank in town, and retired from the Oxford Borough Maintenance Department in 2007. Ronnie loved his town. Swapping Oxford stories with friends over breakfast at the Post House restaurant on Old Baltimore Pike was the way to start the day off right. While Ronnie was known to be a hard-worker, he didn’t lose sight of some of the things that make life worth living: hunting, fishing, crabbing, and (weather-permitting) snowmobiling. These activities created great smiles and brought out even more of his trademark humor. While some may vacation in exotic places or seek happiness in material items, Ronnie proved it was the simple things in life, like watching the deer come in and out of the woods near his farmhouse in Breezewood, which made the difference. While he had many loves, his greatest love was that for his wife, Stephanie (nee Narcisi) Prewitt, with whom he shared 15 years of marriage and even longer together. They found solace and commitment together through their common love and belief in the Almighty and acceptance of Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. Together, they joined the congregation of the Wesley Church in Quarryville and remained active with it until Ronnie’s recent passing. Ronnie is survived by his loving wife; and three brothers, Richard D. Prewitt (Annabelle) and Robert A. Prewitt (Flossie) all of Oxford and Rodney G. Prewitt (Deb) of Quarryville.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Norma Jean Bartram. Funeral services will be held at 11 am Thursday, Dec. 31 at the Edward L. Collins, Jr. Funeral Home, Inc., 86 Pine St., Oxford, PA, where friends may visit on Wednesday from 6-8 pm and Thursday from 10-11 am. Interment will be in Oxford Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to Wesley Church, P.O. Box 364, Quarryville, PA 17566.
