Ruth Sears Obituary
February 26, 1936 - May 7, 2016
Ruth Williamson Sears, 80, of Logan, Utah, passed away peacefully on the seventh day of May 2016 after a valiant fight with multiple health issues.
Ruth was born in Paradise, Utah, on Feb. 26, 1936. She was the fourth of five children born to Vern and Beth Williamson. Ruth graduated from South Cache High
School. She went on to marry Bob Sears in the Logan LDS 'Temple on March 26, 1953.
Ruth worked at Fred's Flowers for many years, where she used her creative abilities to design beautiful floral arrangements. She had the opportunity to participate in the Teleflora National Conference in 1971, where she won honors for her incredible designs.
Ruth loved decorating flowers for both family and friends' wedding receptions. She was indeed an artist in floral arrangements.
Throughout Ruth's life she was indeed a perfectionist. She always went the extra mile to make sure that everything was done to the nines. Ruth enjoyed golfing, spending time in her yard, and being with her family. In recent years, she never tired of going fishing with Bob.
Ruth was preceded in death by her parents; two infant children, Robert Fred and Steven Scott; and her brothers and sister, Don and Kay Williamson and JoAnn Riggs.
She is survived by her husband Bob, her daughter Debra Wilson (Steve), her son Michael Sears (Veronica), her sister Gale (Gary) Kendrick, her brother-in-law Max Sears (Jackie), her sister-in-law Julie (Harmon) Eyre, her grandchildren: Shane (Meagan), Cory, Dane, Meaghann, Tanner and Morgann. She also leaves behind seven great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, May 12, at Allen-Hall Mortuary, 34 E. Center St., in Logan. Friends may call from noon to 1:45 p.m. prior to services. Interment will be in the Logan City Cemetery.
The family wishes to express sincere appreciation to all who cared for Ruth over the years.
We will be forever grateful. Ruth will be greatly missed but never forgotten by all who
knew and loved her.

My memories of spending fun time staying with Ruth when we were young great ones. I always appreciated that she was named for my Mom. She was a sweet cousin with whom I grew up. Always special to me. Sorry to the family and share your sorrow as she has now been freed from all the health issues she has had to experience. How grateful we can be that because of the Gospel of Jesus Christ we know we will be reunited with our loved ones at a future date. My love and thoughts go out to all of you as you will be missing being able to be with her.

Bob and family,
Know that we are thinking of you at this time. It is hard, but we know that Ruth suffered with health problems for such a long time. We appreciated being your neighbors for about 50 years. Our daughters join us in sending our condolences.
