Ruth O'Malley Obituary

O'Malley, Ruth M. The unexpected passing of our darling Ruthie on March 29, 2016 is sending waves of great sorrow around the world. Everyone who met her felt blessed by the experience. Tirelessly loving, giving, supportive, and accepting, her enthusiasm for life, nature and others was inspirational. Beautiful inside and outside, brilliant and hugely talented, Ruthie's loss is felt deeply by her large family, here and in Brazil, her family of friends and her animal companions. A memorial to celebrate Ruthie's life will be held Saturday, April 9 from 2 to 4 PM at St. Mark's Episcopal Church at 2618 N. Hackett Ave. in Milwaukee.

Dear Family and Friends of Ruthie,
I got the news late after returning from a trip, and was not able to attend the memorial service. My heart and prayers go out to all of you for this loss. I trust and pray she is enfolded in the loving embrace of God where she awaits all of you one day to be reunited in love.
Blessings to you all,
Ron Zeilinger

We met the OMalley family in the 70s when we moved to Milwaukee. Our children were about the same age, and we became good friends. Even though we lost contact due to our return to Brazil, we remember how beautiful and happy Ruthie always was. We hope Joe and his family can find comfort in the good memories.
Please accept our condolences and our prayers.
Olivio, Cluny, Marcos, Martha and Marcia Avila

Although I only knew Ruth for a short time, and life took us on different paths, my sympathy goes out to the one's that traveled the long path with her.

Although my time with Ruth was brief, and life took us down different paths, you never forget your high school sweetheart. For those of you that continued on the path with Ruth, my sympathy for your loss.

I so miss the thought of her not here on earth.
A most amazing woman.Her soul lit lives.
Compassion was her brightest.
She was one of the dearest friends I've ever known.

Although I won't be able to attend her memorial physically,
I and son Aiden will be there spiritually.

We love you (Aunt) Ruthie

Dear Ruthie, you gave me the great honor of helping me sing one last time to my beloved Grampa John Rosenberg. So, now, I sing to you: Kiss me once, and kiss me twice, and kiss me once again! May your music live on, dear Ruthie.
