It is with great sadness that the family of Ronald Henry Schilling announces his passing on the 3rd of July 2024, in St Louis, Missouri.
Born on February 10th, 1948, to Alvina Hilda Rhomberg and Harry Andrew Schilling Jr., Ron served three years in the United States Army, and he retired from the United States Postal Service after 38 years, including 13 years as Postmaster of Chesterfield, Missouri.
Ron loved riding his motorcycle, fishing, and traveling. His legacy is continued through his family whom he loved dearly. He is survived by his loving wife, Elaine Russom-Schilling; his three loving daughters Kimberly (Schilling) Gibson, Kristina (Schilling) Fortman, and Kelly (Schilling) Koppeis; and his adoring grandchildren and great-children Lucas Schilling, Bryce Raby, Addison and Reagan Koppeis, Drake, Grace, Grant, and Travis Fortman, Sean, Amara, Draco, and Lyla Gibson. He is also survived by loving in-laws: Sheree Harden and her husband Frank, Jeff Russom and his wife Shawne.
A loving family man and a great friend to many, Ron is now at peace and with our holy Father.

At the conclusion of services, Ron will be laid to rest at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery.

I will always remember Ron with love. My father Art dearly loved his sister Alvina and her children. I was grateful to see Ron after so many years. My deepest condolences to Elaine and Ron’s dear family. Ron will always hold a special place in my heart.
I’m so sorry to see this. I worked with Ron and Elaine many years at USPS. I didn’t see them often in recent years but did occasionally when retirees would get together. I always enjoyed Ron’s wit and dry sense of humor. My condolences to Elaine and all of his family.
I am so sorry for your lost, I haven’t seen him for years but my Dad use to take us bowling
When we were kids, My dad was his mother’s brother. Sorry I won’t be able to go to the
Funeral, I am getting a new knee that day.
But prayers your way, for all
