Born in Zerbe, on Sunday, June 7, 1936, a daughter of the late Irvin "Frank" and Ruth Holwig Mack.

She was a 1955 graduate of the former Tremont High School.

She was a member of St. John's Lutheran Church, Tremont, and the Tremont Community Organization.

In her younger years, she enjoyed country line dancing and doing ceramics. Ruth was also an avid Phillies fan. She had a talent for baking cakes, and she loved making birthday cakes for her family. She also had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two sisters, Nancy Bohr-Lutz, and Agnes Kohr; two brothers, Robert and James Mack.

She is survived by a sister, Thelma Renninger, and a brother, Laine Mack, Sr. and his wife Cheryl, all of Tremont. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews whom she dearly loved.

Following Ruth's wishes, she will be laid to rest privately in the St. John's Lutheran Cemetery, Tremont.
