Obituary of Ralph Wesley Wilkins
Wilkins, Ralph Wesley
April 3, 1921 – November 23, 2021
Passed peacefully on November 23, 2021 at the Kingston General Hospital. Ralph was born on April 3, 1921 in Alberta to the late Maggie Herron and Frederick C. Wilkins. Together again with his siblings, Clara Heatherington, Blanche McPherson , Edith McMillan and, Art Wilkins. Ralph is reunited with his beloved late wife Lolla Marie Mutch Wilkins. Survived by his son Ike (Isaac) Wilkins and his many nieces and nephews
Ralph worked at Dupont from the years 1965 to 1986 as a maintenance mechanic. He had formed many friendships that will be cherished through his involvement with the First Baptist Church where many children had come to know him as their “adoptive” grandfather. To know Ralph would be to know his love for children and the great outdoors. He will be dearly missed by all that knew him.
