She was born April 14, 1923, in Lake Jovita, Fla., daughter of Joseph and Clara Sultenfuss Barthle.
She entered the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany on Jan. 30, 1942, was received into the Congregation on Aug. 15, 1942 and professed her final vows on Aug. 16, 1949. She joyfully lived the Franciscan charism as an Allegany Sister for 78 years.
She is survived by her sister-in-law, Stella Barthle; and several nieces and nephews.
Sr. Ruth is predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Clara Sultenfuss Barthle; two sisters, Margaret Kiefer and Mary Shambeau; and two brothers, Albert and Joseph Barthle.
