Ruthie was born in Fort Worth, Texas to Paul and Marmiedellie Wilson on August 25th, 1947. She worked as a Quality Inspector for Eaton Corp for 30 years. Ruthie loved being outdoors anytime the weather permitted, enjoying yardwork and gardening – just living with nature. She loved her family more than words, and would help anyone, given the opportunity. Her faith and love for her savior never stopped, often singing the praises daily.
Ruthie was preceded in death by her parents, Marmie and Paul, her brothers, William Paul and Danny Ray, her nieces, Tammy and Angela, her beloved son, Jerry Wayne, and her loving husband, Gerald.
She is survived by daughter, April Nikkel, and her husband Tommy, sisters, Joyce, Della, and Brenda, brothers, Charles, Michael, and Jerry, grandchildren, Mikayla, Allen, Lily, Mitchell, Joseph, Alisha, and her great-grandchildren, Jonathan, Emmalee, Olivar, Zeppelin, Ellowyn, Ruby, Finley, Emery, and Paisley.
The family of April Nikkel wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Colwich Gardens and the amazing staff of nurses and caregivers who loved my mom and allowed her to just be her.
