An angel came from heaven on June 17, 1928. Most called her Ruth or Ruthie, but most called her Mom and Grandma. Ruth Maryann (Neddermeyer) Moeller returned home on Monday, March 6, at her home in Boise, Idaho, at the age of 88. 

Ruth was born the oldest child to Robert and Edna Neddermeyer in St. Clair Township, Ute. She was baptized and confirmed in faith at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. She received her education in Ute, graduating in 1947. After graduation she moved to Omaha, Neb., to work at Orchard & Wilhelm. 

On Oct 17, 1953, Ruth was united in marriage with Gordon G. Moeller at a Lutheran Church in Omaha, Neb. The couple was married for 52 years and had three children, Steve, Mike, and Keri. 

Ruth made her home in Iowa, California, Washington, and Idaho. She was her family’s soft rock and taught all of them the important lessons in life by the way she lived… always say thank you; be gentle and kind; keep plenty of paper towels, Kleenex and baggies on hand; be ready with a smile and a little forgiveness; pack a thoughtful lunch for those you love; enjoy the flowers; let tomato juice run down your chin; laugh a lot; make pilaf and bake pies with love; shop until you drop; enjoy all of God’s creatures; show your sentimental side; always say “grace” before dinner and find a BFF (best furry feline) to share your secrets... Missy, the cat, will miss her. 

Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband, Gordon; daughter-in-law, Denise Moeller; brother, Ervin Neddermeyer; sister and brother-in-law, Marlene and Wilfred Goslar; brother-in-law and niece, Roger and Vicki Lansman; brother-in-law, Charles Moeller; brother-in-law and nephew, Robert and Jeff Moeller. 

Survivors include children, Steven, Michael, and Keri; two grandsons, Steven and Cody and fiancé, Brandi, and their son, Daryn; one sister, Millie; brother, John (Butch) and his wife, Joan; five sisters-in-law, Carol, Cha, Georgene and husband, Stan, Jolene, and Doris; brother-in-law, Fredrick and wife, Pat; numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. Ruth shared the best of yourself with her family and enriched their lives. As Ruth completes her final journey, they know she would look back at her time on Earth and say “That was a good stop.”

Funeral Services were held at 10:30 a.m., Monday, March 13, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Ute. 
Rev. Marcus Manley officiated the service with graveside rites held at St. Clair Cemetery in Ute. 

Organist Lynette Thies provided accompaniment for soloist Jen Ritter singing “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art.” 

Serving as pallbearers were Todd Neddermeyer Shawn Neddermeyer, Steven Moeller Jr., Tom Lansman, Dave Lansman, Cody Moeller, and Randy Goslar. 

The family invited everyone to return to the church for fellowship and lunch provided by the Ladies Aid and Staley’s.
