Ruth Ann Schroeder

Ruth Ann (Bohon) Schroeder, age 75 of Catlettsburg, Ky., a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at her daughter's residence on July 28, 2025 in Rochester following an extended illness. Raised in Monaca, PA, Ruth's life was a testament to her unwavering love, dedication to family, and her deeply held values.
Ruth met the love of her life, David L. Schroeder, during her high school years. Their love story culminated in a beautiful marriage on November 8, 1968, while David was serving in the U.S. Air Force. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and lasting memories. Ruth lovingly created a warm home, her backyard was filled with flowers, birdsong, and the birds knew the feeders were always full.
Her parents, Clarence and Vivian (Liller) Bohon, and her brothers, Chris, James, and Ralph Bohon, as well as her in-laws, Jeremiah and Betty Schroeder, and a beloved grandson, Michael Juratovic, preceded her in death. Ruth's legacy continues through her loving husband, David L. Schroeder, and their three children: David Schroeder, Jr. of Ky., Jennifer Schroeder (Phil) DeLuca of Rochester, and Christina Schroeder (Derek) Hensley of Ky. Her joy was multiplied by her grandchildren, Kimberly (Simeon) Brace, Isabella Grace Birch, Andrew David Birch, Logan Hensley, Lauren Hensley, Kadence Schroeder Belic, and Jonathan Schroeder, and her great-grandchildren, Luke and Asher Brace. Above all, she was a proud and devoted Grannie and had a hand in raising all of her grandchildren. Summers in Kentucky will be embedded in their hearts forever.
Ruth's sisters, Jane (Paul) Smith, Rita (Bruce) Megill, and Sue (Fred) Porebski, along with several nieces and nephews, will remember her warmth and wisdom.
After graduating from Monaca High School and marrying David, the couple settled in Rochester, PA, where they created a loving home for their children and ensured that her children attended Sunday School at Grace Lutheran Church. She and her mother-in-law were active members of a local homemakers' club, where they honed their skills in ceramics, sewing, and crocheting.
She also enjoyed gardening, picnics, shopping and never missed a trip to the casino.
Children learn what they live and through her, so many have learned the beauty of nature, the value of hard work, strength, courage and loyalty.
The family will receive friends on Friday, Aug.1st from 2-4 pm and 6- 8 pm at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca where services will be held on Saturday at 11 am with Reverend Gregory Clagg, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, officiating, Interment will follow in Beaver Cemetery.
The family has suggested memorial contributions be made in Ruth's memory if desired to either St Jude Research Hospital, Tunnels 2 Towers, or a local women's shelter. The family wishes to extend a note of gratitude to Good Samaritan Hospice and a special thanks to "Special Agent Ashley" Jones.
