Ralph Mahoney

A private Mass of Christian Burial was held at Holy Family Catholic Church. Arrangements entrusted to Will Funeral Chapel.
Ralph was born to Wendell and Mabel (Naser) Mahoney in Hanson County. He attended and graduated from Plano School. A couple years after high school he married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Mary (Gebel) in 1955. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in 2020. Ralph joined the army National Guard in 1954 shortly after graduating high school and retired in 1990 from his full-time civil service job as well as weekend guard. But in his heart, his true occupation was being a farmer. When he was in a tractor, he was a happy man. Even though his health made it challenging, Ralph farmed up until he passed away.
