Ruthe's obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ruthe Lillian Giltrap on October 27, 2025 in Bradenton, Florida. Born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania on July 25, 1936, she was a devoted woman of faith. She found immense joy in prayer, strength in scripture, and peace in the promise of eternal life. Her life was a living testament to a favorite Bible verse, Matthew 5:16: "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven."
Ruthe will be lovingly remembered by her husband Curtis, her daughter, Patti Clark, son-in-law, Jeffrey Clark, and her granddaughter, Catherine Clark. She also survived by her sister, Nancy Eicher and her nieces and nephews.
She, was a beacon of light in this world, radiating warmth, kindness and generosity to family, friends, and those she met. Her light will continue to shine in our hearts forever and may her memory inspire us to make a significant difference in the lives of many.
A service celebrating Ruthe's life will be held on November 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Grace Community Church, Lakewood Ranch, Florida.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Grace Community Church in Ruthe's memory to continue to brighten the lives of others.
