Ruth Strauss Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 8, 2024.
Ruth Latrelle Strauss, long time Longboat Key resident, passed away on Monday, November 4th, just short of her 99th birthday (born December 12th, 1925). Ruth is well known as the longtime treasurer of the Longboat Key library, the secretary of the Longboat Key Republican's Club, and an active member of Christ Church on Longboat Key.

As you might imagine, Ruth outlived almost everyone, including her beloved husband, Robert L. Strauss, her twin sister, Ruby Ehman, and her older sister, Maureen. In truth, there are plenty of survivors including one of her four children, Bobbette, eleven grandkids, and twenty-one great-grandkids.

It is hard to imagine living through the century from 1925 to the present, but Ruth lived it to the fullest. All who knew her were blessed by her grace, compassion, and humor. Her beatific smile alone would make your day. We will miss her.

I saw this beautiful woman with a fabulous smile in Women´s Bible Study and fell in love with her. My mother moved down to live at freedom village and she and Ruth became dear friends. I took Rugh to meet mom for lunch and when we got there she told me thank you but to leave because they wanted girl time!!!
