Ruth Ann Smucker

December 9, 1950 - June 25, 2017

SMUCKER, Ruth Ann, age 66, of Morrow and formerly of Reedsville, WI, passed away Sun. June 25, 2017 at her residence. Ruth Ann was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in Wayside, WI. A very family oriented and caring person, even if you were not a part of her family she would quickly make you feel like you were. She was gifted in her beautiful craft work. She would make custom cards and paper, stamps, ornate quilts, etc. Each of the homes that she and her husband lived in throughout the years received beautification and restoration via their handiwork. Ruth also enjoyed boutiquing at vintage and antique stores, flower gardening, baking and cooking- three meals per day, and spending time caring for children and older people. She served as an activities director at a nursing home in Wisconsin for a while and helped lead a Sunday School class at her church. Known for making everyone feel special with her proper and sweet persona, a friend recently wrote about her that she "moved in quiet ways with so much strength and caring about her!" She created MUG (Mother's Under God) night when she lived in Wisconsin, where her group of ladies would meet to share tea, scripture, and supportive conversation. She was preceded in death by her parents Ray and Rose Beatty, her brother Floyd Beatty Jr., and one sister Barbara Saunders. She is survived by her husband of 37 years, Ted; four children Vicky (Jeff) Hild, David Rupert, Brian Smucker, and Eric Smucker; three grandchildren Levi Hild, Leanna Hild, and David John Rupert Jr.; two sisters Jodi Cunningham and Idella Spurlin; and special niece Suzann (Wayne) Dolson. A celebration of life graveside service will be held 2 PM Sat. July 15 at Johnson Cemetery in Archbold, OH immediately followed by a life celebration gathering at St. James Lutheran Church in Archbold. Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home, Waynesville is serving the family. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Ruth's memory to St Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105. Condolences at www.stubbsconner.com.
