A devoted homemaker, Ruth poured her heart into caring for her family. She was a talented seamstress, lovingly sewing clothes for her loved ones, and a gifted baker whose home-cooked meals were cherished by all. Ruth was also a master quilter, creating treasured quilts for her family and teaching quilting classes across the state of Kansas. In her free time, she enjoyed reading and playing cards.

Ruth was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Delbert, in 2005; a grandson, Matthew Meyer; her sister and brother-in-law, Trula and Carl Gustafason; her brother, Don Steuber; and sisters-in-law, Betty and Wanda Steuber.

She is survived by her five children: Karen (Jeff) Klewein of Acworth, Georgia, Randy (Vicki) Meyer of Hereford, Arizona, Debra Meyer and Delores Meyer, both of Lawrence, Kansas, and Daniel (Jane) Meyer of Linn, Kansas. She is also survived by her brother, Neal Steuber; sister-in-law, Alice Steuber; eight grandchildren; twenty great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

Ruth will be remembered for her creativity, strength, and unwavering love for her family.
