- Ronald Thomas Hitchins, 56, of Midlothian, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011 at the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born on March 21, 1955, he was the son of the late Thomas Hitchins and Mella (Miller) Hitchins. He was also preceded in death by his mother and father-in-law, Pearl and John Hutcheson. Ronnie was employed by the State of Maryland (Division of Corrections) as a Correctional Maintenance Officer at NBCI, since 2008. He was formerly employed by the S. Schwab Co., The Kelly Springfield Tire Warehouse, and Allegheny Mining Corp. As a Christian, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and was a member of the Carlos United Methodist Church. He was also an avid turkey hunter, a handy woodworker and craftsman, and he loved playing the guitar and singing. A man of true character and honesty, he was best known for his sense of humor, his willingness to help others, and the great love he had for his family. Surviving are his wife of 39 years, Nora (Kasecamp) Hitchins of Midlothian; one daughter, Rhonda Skidmore and husband Denny of Midlothian; and two grandchildren, Ashlyne “His Baby Doll” Skidmore (who was the light of his life), and his “ol buddy” Woofer. He is also survived by two brothers, Leslie Hitchins of Carlos, and Timothy Hitchins and wife Tammy of Carlos; three sisters, Jeanne Herrell and husband Steve of Rawlings, Cynthia Hitchins of Carlos, and Melody Fink and husband Ron of Cresaptown. Along with many nieces and nephews, and aunts and uncles, he is also survived by several sister and brother-in-laws, with special recognition to Dottie and Bill Minnick, who have graciously given their time through travel and moral support in every step of the way in his illness. Friends and family will be received at Durst Funeral Home P.A., 57 Frost Ave, Frostburg, on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2011 from 5 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will be conducted at the funeral home on Friday, Oct. 21, 2011 at 2 p.m. with the Rev. George Harpold officiating. Interment will be in Sunset Memorial Park, Bedford, Cumberland.
