Ruth Hermansen

Ruth was a vast reader of all types of books, a walker, a crafter of many years, a gardener on her small hobby farm filled with small animals to keep her busy.

She was a member of the Emanuel Lutheran Church in Jackson, MI. She volunteered at the church for years after moving in town when her husband passed.

She lived a full life as a beloved Aunt to her vast number of nieces and nephews who looked after her.

She was preceded in death by her parents Calla Norkey and Theodore Turner, siblings: Bill Turner, Jewell Richards, Gloria Webber and Jack Norkey.

According to Ruth’s wises, she will be cremated and a graveside service will be held at Hillcrest Memorial Park at a later date.

The family would like to thank the staff at Gentiva and Summit Park for the loving care of Ruth.

Ruth’s family is being served by Burden-Patience-Montgomery Funeral Home (1806 E. Michigan Ave., Jackson, MI).
