It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Mrs. Ruth "Ruthie" Kinnear(Schukar), known to many simply as Ruth. Born in 1957, Ruth left us on the 10th of July, 2024, In Englewood Co, leaving a void that can never be filled. With Ruth's departure, we remember a life lived with immense love and a constant sense of caring.

Ruth was predeceased by her husband, Morris Kinnear, whom she married in 1994, her brother, Gene Schukar, and her parents, Mary and Purl Schukar. She is survived by her daughter, Mary Kinnear, her grandson, Adrian Meyer, and granddaughter, Sheyenne York. Her grandson, Branson Meyer, son-in-law, Anthony Meyer, and siblings Jane Fox, Joseph Schukar, Peggy Cruickshank, and Ilene Kuenning are left to continue her legacy. She also leaves behind her niece, Samantha Fox, and nephew, Wayne Kuenning.

Ruth had a palate for simple and comforting food and drink, with favorites including potato chips, hominy, strawberries, diet soda, and coffee. Her taste in music was a reflection of her vibrant personality, with Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, and the Beatles providing the soundtrack to her life. She found joy in the worlds created by the Jurassic Park and Van Helsing film franchises, and could often be found wheeling around in her wheelchair or playing a competitive game of Monopoly.

She held a deep affection for spending time with her grandchildren and immersing himself in films. Her favorite local haunt was the library, a testament to his lifelong pursuit of knowledge. A beautiful soul who cared deeply about kindness and believed in God, Ruth was most pleased when she saw others spreading love and care.

Ruth's preference for the color purple was indicative of her rich, royal character - loving, caring, perhaps a tad crazy, and always happy. The greatest lesson she shared with us is the importance of kindness and the act of showing love to one another.

Some of Ruth's significant accomplishments include her graduation from Graceland College and his fulfilling career as a teacher. However, the roles she cherished most were those of a mother and later a grandmother. He leaves us with a legacy to strive to do better and to be kind to others.

Ruth's presence will be sorely missed, especially her surprising visits asking about her drink, her choice of film for the night, her warm hugs, and those caring check-up calls. We let go of a remarkable woman, a loving mother,a doting grandmother, and a kind soul. As we mourn her loss, we also celebrate the love, joy, and kindness that were the essence of Ruth's being.
