Ronita was preceded in death by her husband of 13 wonderful years, Robert Height Jr., father, Ronald Gale, and her sisters, Rhonda L Gale and Rosalind Denise Gale-Morgan, whose memories remained a guiding force in her life.

Her connection with animals was extraordinary; she was an animal whisperer whose gentle spirit attracted creatures great and small, including her cherished pet birds. An avid collector, Ronita took delight in china dolls and plates, and her collection of miniature cooking utensils was a source of fascination for visitors. Her artistic and creative spirit shone through in her crafts, each piece a testament to her meticulous attention to detail and her imaginative mind.
