Obituary of Ruth Emma Elizabeth HUETHER

HUETHER, Ruth Emma Elizabeth RUTH’S STORY Ruth Emma Elizabeth Huether was born May 30, 1934, in Liebenow, Kreis Arnswalde, Pommern (now Lubieniow Poland) and spent her early years in Rosenfeld Germany. Surviving war and a transatlantic crossing Ruth made Alberta, Canada her new home. She met Richard Gordon Huether one bright Sabbath Day during a church service in a small country church in Levelland. They fell in love and were married 5 months later on November 06, 1952 and enjoyed 64 years of love. Together they made their home on a dairy farm, and considering their time in history, they prided themselves in raising a uniquely composed family consisting of a fostered nephew ( Wesley Lengwenus-Huether), an adopted son (Jeffery Huether), and a biological daughter (Tamara Huether (Kostrosky). Ruth raised her children actively involved in farm life, church family, and school initiatives. She spent many hours volunteering and giving of her time to others. She taught her children the importance of sacrifice, forgiveness, and acceptance. She taught her nieces and nephews the importance of hospitality, work ethic, the strength in being firm but fair and that “Birthday Wishes,” are always best when sung. She taught her grandchildren the value found in belief, music, language, and patience. She taught her great-grandchildren that love is found in a person’s eyes, snuggles, words and soul, even when the mind is confused. She left a lasting legacy with her community of the importance of investment and time given to others. Ruth fell asleep in her Savior Jesus on Friday, November 18, 2016. Her Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday May 21, 2017, for all family and friends, at the Beiseker Levelland Seventh Day Adventist Church. In lieu of flowers Ruth would have preferred her friends to give generously to ADRA Canada/donate. www.adra.ca or by phone at 1.888.274.2372.
