Ruth Patricia Kissinger (nee Schlueter) passed away peacefully on Jan 31, 2015 at Samaritan Health Center with her family by her side. She was born in Campbellsport on March 21, 1929 to Ida and August Schlueter. Ruth was known for her love of cooking and baking. Her favorite meal was liver & onions (much to her children's groans) and her favorite dessert was Red Velvet cake (much to her children's delight). She enjoyed dancing, reading, watching gameshows, collecting antiques and loved watching Shirley Temple movies. She worked at West Bend Company and Enger Kress. She was not only proud of the work she did but was also proud of the many lifelong friendships she had made. She was a spunky lady with a great sense of humor. But most of all she loved and was proud of her family. She is survived by 9 children, sons: Daniel (Mary) Deering and Frederick Kissinger Jr, daughters: Diane(Ronald) Kircher, Debra(Robert) Zettler, Darla Fischer, Dori (Donald) Schomisch, MaryBeth (Daryl Holz) Kissinger, Nancy (Michael) Klessig, and Tammy (Mark) Larson, 20 grandchildren: DeAnna, Jennifer, Karla, Karmen, Jamie, April, Rachel, Elizabeth, Jake, Rhonda, Kimberly, Nicholas, Jacob, Jesse, Tracy, Trisha, Hunter, Kyle, Miranda and Dalton. 16 great-grandchildren and 4 great-great- grandchildren and many cousins in the Campbellsport area. She is preceded in death by her parents, husbands Darwin Deering and Frederick Kissinger, Sister Esther Kahut, grandchildren Richard Kircher and Adam Bigelow and great-grandchild Steven Salyers and her cousin Olly Moliter. She also had a very special place in her heart for her nieces, Susan Karoses, Robin Ewing and Sandy Nichols, her close friends Aunty Dale, Marge Julson and Mary Steiner. The family is thankful for all the wonderful support and care she received at Samaritan Health Center and also from Gentiva Hospice. Ruth & family would sincerely and affectionately like to thank Dr. Renee Jahnke at the Aurora Healthcare Center for her many, many years of comfort and caring for her. Ruth always loved seeing her and her smiling face. Services for Ruth will be at the Twohig Funeral Home on Saturday Feb. 7th. Visitation will be from 1-3pm with a service to follow.
