Longtime Record Rep Margaret Ann Ronayne Passes

Remembering Margaret Ann Ronayne

Condolences to the family and friends of longtime promotion goddess MARGARET ANN RONAYNE, who died YESTERDAY (5/7) after suffering an apparent heart attack. RONAYNE was best known for her long run at ARISTA RECORDS, POLYDOR and EMI-AMERICA.

ALL ACCESS was first alerted to the loss by CUMULUS MEDIA/SYRACUSE OM TOM MITCHELL, who took to FACEBOOK and wrote, "Just got the saddest news. One of my favorite people in the business, MA RONAYNE MARGARET ANN RONAYNE had a heart attack and died. She and I spoke every week. Sometimes twice a week. We had so many good times and laughs. Great dinners together at her favorite SYRACUSE restaurant, JOEY's. We shared a love of music and sharing our own personal music discoveries. One of the nicest souls you could ever know. With TOMMY PAGE and GEORGE SKAUBITIS leaving us too soon, this one is extra hard to take."
