Ronnie Farrah

Rice

Ronnie Farrah Rice, precious four-day-old infant daughter of Jillian Rice, passed away on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the University of Kentucky Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky. She was born on Sunday, November 8, 2026, in Lexington, Kentucky.

Though her time on this earth was heartbreakingly short, little Ronnie filled the hearts of her family with a lifetime of love. She was a beautiful, precious baby girl, perfect in every way. Though tiny, Ronnie was a fighter with a strength far greater than her size. Her momma lovingly described her as stubborn, a little girl who showed just how strong and determined she could be. From the moment she entered this world, she was surrounded by unconditional love.

Although Ronnie never had the opportunity to experience all that life had to offer, she touched the hearts of everyone who loved her. Her tiny footprints have left an everlasting impression on her family's hearts. While they can no longer hold her in their arms, they will forever carry her in their hearts. Heaven has gained a beautiful little angel, and her family will cherish every precious moment they were blessed to have with her. Ronnie may have only lived four short days, but she will be loved and remembered for a lifetime.

Ronnie was preceded in death by her grandparents, Ronnie and Holly Rice; and one uncle, Jeremy Jankowski.

She leaves behind her loving mother, Jillian Rice, who will forever cherish her precious baby girl; her grandparents, Amy (Greg) Arvin; her beloved Meemaw, Caria Means; her great-grandmother, Janet Kiser; and five loving aunts, Audrey Arvin, Amber (Walter) Stratton, Haley Lowe, Lily Rose, and Addi Norton. She also leaves behind many other family members whose hearts will forever hold a special place for her.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. at Lewis Funeral Home of Irvine. Funeral services will begin at 12:00 p.m., with Bro. Tony Belcher officiating. Burial will follow in Oakdale Cemetery.

Some people only dream of angels, but Ronnie's family was blessed to hold one in their arms.

Lewis Funeral Home of Irvine is honored to serve the family of precious Ronnie Farrah Rice during this difficult time.
