Feisty, Fierce, Friendly, Flirtatious and Fun...and not a little bit stubborn, Ruth Storrs died peacefully at the Golden Age Manor in Amery, WI with her nieces Lisa (Buhr) Loughlin, Mary Kay (Merth) Buhr, Nephew Gary Buhr and his faithful dog Beamer at her side.
Ruth was preceded in death by her father, Anton M. Buhr, Mother Mary (Klinkhammer) Buhr, Husband, Cecil Wright and beloved son David, Husband, Richard Storrs and Buhr brothers, Nick, Joe, Ralph, Tony, Jim and Nestor. Sisters, Alice (Bill Barthman) Eleanor (Rueben Paulson), Mary Ann, and her dog Moe. Survived by her sister, Geneva (Lee ) Gasper, Sister-in-law, Dorothy Breeden (Tony) Buhr, Grand Daughters, Amy Wright, Sherie Garver, and Great Granddaughters, Sidney, Riley and Kenzie. Daughter-in-law Margaret (Paul) Wilhour and countless nephews, nieces and friends.
Although she spent most of her adult life in California, Ruth truly enjoyed her relationships developed in Evergreen Village and Golden Age Manor who became her second family. She was very social and spread good humored cheer among all the residents as she zipped along the corridors greeting people, making them laugh and dispensing hugs.
A special thanks to all at Golden Age who cared for Ruth during this time, especially her good friend and care giver, Joanie and Orvin Lien who read the Clear Lake Chronicle to her when her eye sight began to fail.
Arrangements for a Celebration of Life and Mass of Christian Burial at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Amery are pending availability of immediate family members in AZ.
