Ruthanne Hartung

Dear John and Bill,
My most sincere condolences to you on the death of your Mother. We were e-mail friends the last several years and I knew your late Father since 1948 when we met at Northeast Jr. High.
I last saw your Mother at your Dad's service at St. John's and now regret I didn't return when we left the cemetery. I'm also sorry I was unable to get to Reading for your Mother's service.
Please know that I too mourn the passing of both of your Parents and know that...

Celebrating a life well lived. She will be greatly missed by many. The Reading-Berks Guild of Craftsmen has lost a treasure. I will miss my friend.

I knew Mrs. Hartung when she was my teacher at ELCO High School. I had her husband for homeroom in 7th grade. They were both super people. Later I worked with her to start reproducing the fraktur at Ephrata Cloister while I was director there. She was a very talented and genuine person. So sorry she is gone.

I guess the heavens need another artistic person. Twenty years ago, Ruthanne created a faceplate for my daughters baby book. I work for a bank she frequented in Northeast Reading (which is now a CVS). May she rest in peace.

Our deepest sympathy from your relatives, Ana Hartung, Jason, Andrea, & Brayden Hook, James ,Stacey, Nathan Hartung, Daniel, Hilary Hartung. You will forever be in our hearts.

Henry and I extend our Deepest Sympathy
to her Son's, Bill and John and their families,and Maryjane,her Sister who was also her" Best Friend". She will be missed by many people, who crossed her path over the years, and we have lost a very talented lady. May God be with her and her family at this time.

My deepest sympathy to Ruthanne's family." Eternal be her memory!"

I speak for all of Ruthanne's Ruth cousins when I say we will all deeply miss her. May the Lord bless her and keep her in His eternal care.

The Reading-Berks Guild of Craftsmen has lost a very gifted artist and friend. She was a very
special lady, in all aspects of the word. Ruthanne will be sadly missed by many, whose paths have crossed with hers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Carolyn & Ken Handwerk
