John “Jack” and Carole Ranson of Long Grove will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary on Oct. 2.
Carole Crane and Jack Ranson were married on Oct. 2, 1965, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Long Grove. Over the decades, Jack and Carole’s life together is marked by commitment, love and family - raising five children on their rural Long Grove farm and touching the hearts of those around them. They are the proud parents of Wanda Radcliff of Durant, Debbie (Rex) Baetke of Eldridge, Peggy (Drew) Streit of Marion, Andy (Kim) Ranson of Long Grove, and George (Jerri) Ranson of Iowa City. Their joy has multiplied through their grandchildren: Ashley (Adason), Amber (Brandon), Allison, Anna (Payton), Cameron (Rhea), Zach, Grace, Nate, Austin, Kahlen, and Emmalia. They are also blessed with six great-grandchildren: Ava, Alice, Nellie, Otto, Barlow, and Rylee.
To mark this milestone, the family will gather for a private celebration. Friends and loved ones are invited to send cards or texts to help commemorate this special occasion to 27322 140th Avenue, Long Grove, IA 52756.
