Condolence: Oma Ruth was my great grandma. I wish I had spent more time with her. I was lucky to see her before she passed. I love you Oma. She was a great person.

Condolence: Ruthie was a very special woman. I will miss her so much. Instead of sending flowers on behalf of the Germania Membership, I am proposing a memorial stone be placed in the Germania garden in Ruthie's honor. Sending prayers to Art and family. ~Christy

Condolence: We were so honored to have learned so much from Ruthie. Her life was filled with love of family, friends, music, sharing her knowledge and making improvements in our Germania Society Club.

Condolence: Ruth touched our family in the short time that we were lucky enough to know her. My girls loved her teaching them the proper way to make the flower headbands. Our thoughts and prayers will be with Art and the family.

Condolence: Ruthie was a dedicated member of Germania. She shared her stories of her seamstress days and all the miracles she worked. She informed us how the Germania head pieces had to be made a certain way. She had very high standards. She shared with me their family's opera talent and her pride with rolling sauerkraut balls was unending. We all, will truly miss her.

Condolence: Ruth was a very special and talented woman. She blessed me greatly at a difficult time in my life. She saved me hundreds of dollars by working her magic with wardrobe alterations over a period of years. I especially enjoyed seeing her at the German Oktoberfest where she worked so hard in the kitchen to provide the best desserts! My condolences to her dear, supportive husband, Art, and to her family.

Condolence: Our deepest sympathy to Art and the Pfefferkorn family. Ruth's spirit and enthusiasm will always be in our hearts and a huge part of Germania Society. Her wisdom, selflessness and strength are irreplaceable. God bless you and love you Ruthie.
