Ruth Ann Buschert

On November 21, 1959, Ruth Ann was united in marriage to the love of her life, Warren Buschert. The loving couple would grow their family to include six sons, and all the hustle and bustle that a large family brings with it. Over the years, many friends found a second home at the Buschert’s.

A woman of Christian values, Ruth Ann lived her life by giving back to her community. She was a dedicated volunteer at Smith Memorial Congregation Church where every Wednesday she worked at the Unity House. After the church, closed, she moved to Northlawn United Methodist Church where she continued to grow in her faith. A devoted fan of Elvis, she loved to hear “The King” sing her favorite hymns.

Ruth Ann had a huge heart, and there was always enough love to go around. Her natural desire to care for others, eventually led Ruth Ann to become a nurse’s aide and she spent many years working for Kent Community Hospital. Her love of her family and spending time with her grandchildren brought her the greatest joy, and she always had a soft spot for dogs, cats and horses.

A generous, loving and caring woman, Ruth Ann will be remembered for her hugs; always a hug hello, and a big hug goodbye. Everyone who knew Ruth Ann will miss her warm embrace.
