Ruth Warns Obituary
May 27, 1938 - January 15, 2024
In memory of Ruth Ann Warns who peacefully left us at the age of 85.
She is reunited with her parents, Paul and Violetta Collins; brother, Darol Collins; sons, Steve, and David Warns; son-in-law, Mike Mann. Ruth is survived by her brothers, Vernon Collins, and Jim Wood (Darlene); daughters, Debbie Mann, Vicky Brown (Tom), and Kim Lombardo (Paul Mayo); along with 5 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Known as a second mom to many, Ruth's love touched countless lives, with her grandchildren being the source of immense joy. In addition to her family, she leaves behind a legacy of compassion as a volunteer at Hospice of Northwest Ohio for 15 years.
In honoring Ruth's memory, there will be no service, but donations may be made to Hospice of Northwest Ohio. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who were fortunate to know her. May her soul find eternal peace.

Ruthann was a hoot! I loved to be with her. We drifted apart through the years but never forgot each other. I´ve been putting off calling her and now I´ll pay the price. I´ll regret that until we meet again, Mabel,
Love, Gretchen. LOL

I will never forget the love and kindness that you gave to me both in my childhood and as an adult. I loved you so much more than I ever got the chance to tell you. Thank you for being you Grandma Ruth. Heaven gained a real angel!
To the Family I send prayers for you all in this difficult time and my love.

I loved her. She was so funny. And a big help during my divorce. I will miss her. Hugs to Debbie and Ruth's whole family.
