Ruth Etta Timmreck

December 4, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.


Ruth Etta Smith Timmreck, of Warsaw, passed away peacefully at her son's home on Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2024, after a short fight for her health.
Born in Leesburg, to Virgil and Dorotha Smith, Ruth grew up with 13 brothers and sisters. She found time to enjoy bowling, fishing, cookouts and gardening, which helped round out her free time. Much of Ruth's additional time was spent either sewing and crafting or playing her favorite, bingo!
Ruth's varied work history includes some time spent at Paragon Medical, and in her retirement years she enjoyed working at Dollar Tree, instead of sitting at home.
Ruth's love for her family exceeded all. Her wit and humor made her the center of many family gatherings, and her snappy comebacks and "Smith Sass" kept her there. Time spent with her boys and grandkids gave her the biggest smile.
Surviving are two sons, Rick Smith, of Wolf Lake; and Randy Smith, of Warsaw; stepsons, David Timmreck and Michael Timmreck; grandchildren: Cody, Cory, Sadie and Aleah; Griffen, Carrigan and Aubrey, Abby, Ashton and Dillon; several great-grandchildren; and her siblings: Keith, Beverly, Buddy, Bill, Sue and JuneAnn.
Titus Funeral Home is entrusted with Ruth’s care. Ruth chose to have no visitation or services, and we respect those wishes.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the family are appreciated.
