God quietly called his good and faithful servant Ruth M. Arnold, 88, home to His Eternal Kingdom on Wednesday, February 8, 2017. She'd been looking forward to His call for quite some time.
Ruth led a life of unconditional love. Family was the center of her existence. She was especially fond of children, her three and their spouses; her 8 grandchildren; her great-grandson; and the hundreds of children she helped teach throughout her career.
The cottage at Lime Lake was her haven. It provided her so much peace and happiness and such a wonderful setting to watch her family grow and interact. She just loved it when everyone was there.
Ruth was born August 12, 1928 to Albert and Eda Haase. She grew up in Toledo and graduated from Libbey High School and Davis Business College. She married Don Arnold in 1949 and they raised three children, Mark, Paul and Ruthann. In addition to being a homemaker, she worked for 26 years as a teacher's aide in the Bedford Public Schools. She enjoyed many family vacations out west and a special cruise to Alaska. She was a longtime member of Olivet Lutheran Church in Sylvania.
Ruth is survived by her son, Paul (Lisa) Arnold; her daughter, Ruthann Finch (Jeff); her daughter-in-law, Barbara Arnold; her 8 grandchildren, Matt Arnold, Elizabeth Asteriou (John), Cailyn and Devin Arnold, Adam, Eric, Ryan, and Troy Finch; her great-grandson, Lucas Asteriou; and many nieces and nephews. Ruth was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Donald; her son, Mark; and her siblings, Don, Gail, Lynn and Gertrude.
Visitation will be Sunday February 12, from 2 to 7 p.m. at Reeb Funeral Home, 5712 Main Street, Sylvania, OH 43560. Services will be held at the funeral home on Monday February 13, at Noon, with visitation one hour prior. Ruth had requested to be cremated and will be interred at the Olivet Church Peace Garden at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be directed to Olivet Lutheran Church, 5840 Monroe St., Sylvania, OH 43560.
The family extends its sincere thanks to Ruth's many caregivers at Kingston, Sylvania, Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Olivet visitors and her good friends that spent time with her.
While it is hard to say goodbye, it is a joy to celebrate a new angel in Heaven.
