TRAVERSE CITY – Ruth Alice Moll, 84, of Traverse City, passed away on June 6, 2015 at Munson Medical Center with her husband of 65 years, John, and her family by her side.

Ruth was born on January 1, 1931 in Reivesville, WV to the late Albert and Geraldine (Calvert) Corwin. After high school, Ruth found employment as a secretary for a wholesale appliance company. It is there that she met the love of her life and future husband John. She spent the majority of her working years as the executive secretary for the Lamphere School District from which she retired in 1990.

Ruth will be remembered first and foremost as someone who loved the Lord, her Savior. Ruth knew that she was going to heaven and told her family that it was okay…she would see them again. She embodied a spirit of love and caring and made friends easily. She was very social and was always involved in a game of cards or marbles with her friends at Bay Ridge. Ruth loved to shop and was known as a 'fashionista', often times bringing home multiple items because she just wasn't able to decide which one she should purchase. Ruth was very health conscious, loved to cook and often could be heard reminding everyone "have you washed your hands"? She loved her cat "Callie" who also senses the loss of Ruth.

Ruth is survived by her husband John, daughter Christine, son Kevin (Dianne) and grandchildren Phillip Moll, Matthew Moll and Haley Moll. She was preceded in death by her parents.

A memorial service will be held for Ruth on Wednesday, June 17th at 1 pm, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Lewiston, MI. Memorial contributions may be direct to Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 3805 County Road 612.
