I was sorry to hear about her passing. She was a wonderful person. I have known her since we were young when she lived in Providence.

Jeff, Mason, Garrett and family, I wish to express my sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. May she rest in peace. I hope that you all can find peace and comfort in the many fond memories that you all have both with and of her.
Sorry to hear about you loss. Brother Barry and I went through school together in Pawtucket.
So sad to hear about May-Ronny … We went all through school together and I have sooo many good memories of those times
Thinking of all of you at this difficult time
Gentle peace Quiet strength
May-Ronny was my husband’s step-mom. While she and Rubin lived in RI and we in MS, they actively were involved with us and our sons. She was fun to be with and had a true caring interest in others. When the boys were small, she thoughtfully contacted a fine photographer in our area and paid for family photos. They flew the boys to RI in the summer to vacation with their family. They helped plan and flew in for our 25th anniversary. They came to Ben’s wedding in FL and she came to Troy’s wedding. There was an Elvis Impersonator in the hotel, and since she was such a fan, she had a ball with him. We still love the picture she took with him. Later she and Howie went to Graceland, and we were all able to get together. When AM or I returned to RI, she always opened her home. On our last one, she prepared a huge meal there with family and included our friends. Her generosity is well known, and her lively personality endeared her to all. She will be well remembered and greatly missed.
Sorry we are unable to attended services for May Ronnie
We knew her and her late husband Rubin for several years during our temple Am David Days
We want to convey our deepest sympathies to the entire family

How saddened I am to read of the passing of May-Ronny. I became friends with her when her son Jeffrey was a student in my 7th grade French class. I remember what a loving wife and Mother and daughter and sister she was. How dearly she loved and devoted herself to Jeffrey, Mason, and Garrett! She was so sweet and even welcomed me to her home for a Passover Seder.
And I remember her dancing with Jeff at his Bar-Mitzvah dinner-dance. May her memory be a blessing. My deepest sympathy to the family. Janet Procaccini
Dear Howard and Salk family,
I had a special place in my heart for May and will sincerely miss her.
May was indeed a kind and generous woman who cherished her loved ones deeply. She will be remembered fondly for her warmth and generosity.
May her memory be a blessing
We wish to express our deepest sympathy. May-Roy was a lifelong
friend. We shared many good times and recipes. She had a great love for family and yiddishkeit. She surely will be greatly missed but her legacy will live on.
