Ruth C. Gersch

I am not sure what made me think of her today, but I went to the internet to search. She was my 2nd grade teacher and my favorite teacher! I am glad to see she lived a long life. I cant believe she didnt change at all. Rest well Ms Gersch

Thank you dear friends for pictures of Ruth, I’m one of her cousins living in Texas,
Ruth and I have been visiting via phone for the last many years.. she often mentioned her wonderful family and her dear friends. Her friend who has recently taken her for shopping , and those who visit, also her neighbors I am also aware how important her church family has been for her entire life. I shall miss our visits..
“ Ruth, a life well lived, ‘’. ...

I taught with Ruth for many years in School District 160, Country Club Hills, Illinois. I will remember Ruth for her great Christian faith and love of Jesus Christ. She influenced me and helped me grow in my Christian faith. I shall always remember her for her love of Jesus. May she rest in her final reward of peace with Christ. Kathleen Leitelt

Ruth and I taught for many years at School District 160 in Country Club Hills. I remember Ruth especially for her Christian faith and love for Jesus Christ. She and I shared that faith as colleagues and friends. May she rest in peace. I am sure she is with her beloved Jesus now.

May Ruthie rest in peace.

I will forever hear Ruth saying
“God gave us such a beautiful world.”
“I just LOVE all my flowers”
“Some children just need more patience “
“Let’s have some popcorn “
“The principal LETS ME have lunch and playground duty”
“I can sit on the beach all day”
“The Lord has been so good to us “

Rest in peace, dear Ruthand thanks for the inspiration and memories!!!
