Ruth E. Dalluge, 94, of Grafton, died Tuesday, May 28, 2002, at the Good Samaritan Center in St. Ansgar.

Ruth Eva was born January 7, 1908, in Barton Township, Worth County, to Fred and Lena (Viergutz) Petznick. She was baptized and confirmed at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Grafton. She attended Barton Township country school, parochial school and later the high school in Grafton.

On September 22, 1929, she was united in marriage to Lawrence Dalluge at Emmanuel Lutheran Church. She and her husband farmed in the Grafton area in the early years of their marriage. They moved to Grafton where she lived until entering the Good Samaritan Center in 1998.

Among her interests throughout the years were crocheting, embroidering, gardening, baking, dancing, playing cards and fishing.

Her greatest love was taking care of children. In addition to her children, she and her husband had nine foster children and she was thought of as "Grandma" by the neighbor children.
