Ruth's obituary

Ruth Kunzulu

January 4, 2022 – April 24, 2025

With profound sadness, we announce the passing of our precious Ruth Kunzulu, who left this world too soon on April 24, 2025, at just 3 years old. Ruth was born on January 4, 2022, in Dyer, Indiana, and during her short time here, she filled our lives with light, laughter, and love.

Ruth had a joyful spirit. She adored her family deeply—especially her brother David. Ruth had an adventurous palate and loved exploring all types of cuisine, from Congolese to American.

She is lovingly survived by her mother, Thethe Makalamba Biteni, and her father, Rossy Ewango Kunzulu; her beloved brothers Peggy, Marvie, and David; and her sweet sister, Esther. Her memory will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
