Ruth Krekus Obituary
Greenville, Pennsylvania - Ruth Rose Krekus 88, passed away peacefully at 7:22 a.m. on Monday July 1, 2019 at the St. Paul's Senior Living Community.
She was born in Cleveland, Ohio on September 15, 1930 a daughter of Ignac and Mary Vavrik and lived in Trumbull County for many years.
Ruth was a 1948 graduate of Holy Trinity High School in Cleveland and served as the senior class treasurer. Prior to her marriage, she worked as a secretary for the Navy Department. She was a homemaker and member of St. Rose Church in Girard. Ruth spent her life ceaselessly caring for all who entered her life, always with a warmth and compassion. "Gentle" was the word most people used to describe our mother. Over the years, she volunteered at the St. Joseph Hospital Gift Shop and visited friends in nursing homes. Ruth loved to go shopping but most of all she cherished the time spent with her family and grandchildren especially during the holidays.
