Ruth was born in Lincoln Township, MI January 24, 1938 to Charles and Elva Eva (June) Gugle. She was a member of the Hersey United Methodist Church, and worked with Hope Network in Big Rapids for over 25 years. Ruth was an avid gardener and spent many hours in her yard, where she especially loved tending to her beautiful flower gardens. If you were blessed to know Ruth, you were welcomed with a warm meal, homemade cookies and gifts from her vegetable and flower gardens. Her greatest gift was her love for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Grandma Ruth shared a special bond with her granddaughter Stephane Balon and great granddaughter, Maddison Balon, who were always there to help run errands or stop by to watch movies together. Those memories will forever live in our hearts. Ruth will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
She is survived by her husband of over 66 years, Bion Jacobs; 4 children, Bob (Karen) Jacobs, Jeanine (Nick) Wedberg, Doug (Lynne) Jacobs, and Steve (Barb) Jacobs; grandchildren Stephanie (Jeff) Balon, Sean (Stephanie) Wedberg, Christey Jacobs, Jill (Brian) Dunbar, Ashley (Rob) Cantrell, AJ Jacobs, Nina (Steve) DeCarlo, Alissa Jacobs, and Maddison Balon; 11 great grandchildren; special friend Poppy Boyd; many extended family and friends.
A private Celebration of Life will take place in her flower garden this summer.
