Ruth Edith Archer – Comforted in the love of her family, suddenly and unexpectantly passed on February 26, 2019 at the age of 80.
Loving mother of Linda Archer, Juanita Burnett, Michael (Christina) Archer, and Greg Archer. Ruth was the doting mentor and loving grandmother of Candice (Andrew), Ashley (Chad), Nicole, Jamie (Sunci), and Olivia.
Ruth will be missed by her brother Toivo (Eini) Niemi, and sisters in law Ida Hehn, Charlene Archer and Brenda Rose. Predeceased by siblings Roy (Marg) Niemi and Jorma (Elsie) Niemi and many in laws.
A kind soul with a huge heart, Ruth was always available with an open welcoming door and a listening ear. Family felt at home when they arrived at Ruth’s door. Events such as Christmas and Easter were times to enjoy Ruth’s treats from the kitchen including turkey, pies and other special dessert treats. After dinner, the family enjoyed a game of Yahtzee or squaring off with Ruth, the dangerous Scrabble player, or maybe a tame game of Euchre. An avid reader to say the least, Ruth had a collection of books to rival her local library.
Ruth’s love extended beyond her close-knit family, being involved in the Thedford Legion Ladies Auxiliary for many years. Ruth was a huge animal lover with cats and dogs being her special loves.
A visitation will take place with a service celebrating Ruth’s life on Saturday, March 30, 2019 with interment to take place at the Pinehill Cemetery. Details to follow. A light lunch to follow at Thedford Legion.
