The Ronli Ratliff Memorial Fund turns loss into meaningful action through direct assistance, cold-case efforts, advocacy, and community support. Each part of our mission is rooted in Ronli's story and our commitment to honoring her memory by helping others.
Through compassion, connection, and purpose, we strive to make a lasting difference in our community while continuing the pursuit of answers and justice for Ronli.
We provide support to individuals and families in the days and weeks following a residential fire, helping ease the transition after the immediate emergency response has passed. Assistance may include essential needs such as clothing, household items, and everyday necessities based on the circumstances and needs of each family.
We remain committed to seeking answers and justice for Ronli by keeping her case visible, encouraging credible information to come forward, and supporting appropriate efforts that may help move the investigation forward.
Our advocacy also helps raise awareness of unresolved cases and the importance of continued investigation.
We use Ronli's story to raise awareness, encourage community involvement, and advocate for the importance of unresolved cases. By sharing her story responsibly and creating opportunities for others to get involved, we help ensure Ronli—and the need for answers in cases like hers—are not forgotten.
Every step forward—whether through supporting a family, seeking answers, or raising awareness—helps carry Ronli's legacy forward.
Together, we can continue to turn compassion into action.

The Ronli Ratliff Memorial Fund was created to honor Ronli's memory by turning tragedy into meaningful action. Our mission is to support individuals and families impacted by residential fires, raise awareness and advocate for cold cases, and continue efforts toward justice for Ronli.
Through community support, RRMF works to provide help where it is needed while ensuring Ronli's story and legacy are never forgotten.
RRMF is a nonprofit organization led by a volunteer Board of Directors. Through fundraising, donations, community partnerships, and advocacy, we direct our resources toward programs and efforts that support our mission.
Our Board oversees the organization's activities, financial resources, fundraising efforts, and charitable assistance to ensure RRMF continues to serve the community responsibly and in a way that honors Ronli's memory.
The Ronli Ratliff Memorial Fund supports individuals and families impacted by residential fires, while also supporting efforts related to cold cases, advocacy, and community awareness. Our goal is to turn Ronli’s story into meaningful support for others while continuing to pursue justice in her case.
Fire assistance has a deeply personal connection to Ronli's story. Following her murder in 2004, the home where she was killed was intentionally set on fire in an effort to destroy evidence.
Because fire is part of Ronli's story, RRMF has chosen to turn that painful connection into an opportunity to help others. Supporting families affected by residential fires allows us to provide something positive in Ronli's memory during an incredibly difficult time in their lives.
RRMF provides support to individuals and families in the days and weeks following a residential fire. Assistance is intended to help ease some of the financial and practical burdens that remain after the immediate emergency response has passed.
Support may vary depending on the circumstances, available resources, and the needs of the family.
Assistance is generally intended for individuals and families in our local community who have experienced a significant residential fire. Each situation is considered individually based on need, circumstances, and available RRMF resources.
If you or someone you know has been impacted by a residential fire, please contact RRMF through our website or Facebook page. Referrals may be submitted by the individual or family, friends or relatives, first responders, community organizations, or others familiar with the situation.
Providing basic information about the fire and the family's immediate needs will help us determine how RRMF may be able to assist.
No. RRMF is not an emergency response organization and does not replace assistance provided by fire departments, the American Red Cross, or other emergency agencies.
Our support is intended to help fill needs that may remain after the initial emergency response.
