Ruth was born in Madison, WI and moved to Oak Ridge, TN with her family at the age of 2 for her father’s work on the Manhattan Project, then to Hinsdale, IL where she graduated from Hinsdale Central High School. Ruth graduated from Mt. Sinai Hospital Nursing School in Chicago and worked as a registered nurse for over 25 years at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago and at LaGrange Memorial Hospital.
Ruth was a longtime member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, serving in a variety of leadership positions for Palacky Lodge #630 and Cicero Rebekah Lodge #44. She was also active at the state level, serving as Grand Matriarch of the Grand Ladies Encampment Auxiliary of Illinois and Grand Scribe for over 30 years. She was involved in numerous programs with the Odd Fellows over the years, but was extremely proud of her work with the Autistic project. Her lifelong involvement with the Odd Fellows gave her the opportunity to travel throughout the country and the world with her husband, John.
Ruth was a dedicated and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who always was there for her family. Ruth was an active member of the Congress Park PTA, Cub and Boy Scouts, and a team mom of Brookfield American Little League. Ruth loved being a grandmother. She was generous with her time and attention and made sure her granddaughters always saw her face in the crowd, regardless of time or distance. She particularly loved having them all together in Lake Wisconsin every summer. She will always be loved and will be greatly missed.
My condolences to the family. Please be comforted by the Bibles promise of the resurrection. Acts 24:15, John 5:28,29.
Our condolences to John and family.
