Ruth Imhof Obituary
Ruth was an English teacher at Mercyhurst Preparatory School, where she devoted many years before retiring. She was a faithful member of St. Mark Roman Catholic Church and greatly enjoyed participating in her book club.
The family would like to thank the staff at the Nightingale Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for the wonderful care given to Ruth.
Ruth is survived by three brothers: Joel Fassette, Blaine Fassette (Sharon), and Gary Fassette (Sue); sister-in-law, Linda Imhof; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, Ruth was preceded in death by one brother, Robert Imhof.
A memorial celebration for Ruth will be held in the spring. Memorials may be made to St. Mark's RC Church, 695 Smithson Ave, Erie, PA 16511. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Dusckas Funeral & Cremation Services Harborcreek. Condolences may be offered at www.dusckasfuneralhomes.com.
