Ruth Anna Tisler, age 66 of Reedsville, died on April 9th, 2015, at her home. Ruth was diagnosed with ALS and she bravely faced the debilitating effects of this disease. Ruth was born February 4, 1949 in Green Bay to Florence (Konken) Beyer and the late Walter Beyer. Ruth's faith was strong and she was confirmed in Christ in 1963 at Morrison Zion Lutheran church where she had been a member for most of her life. In 1967 she graduated from Wrightstown High School.

Over the years she has worked at Fort Howard, The Manor, Bilotti's Pizza Garden, Kabats Country Gardens, Pranges/Younkers, and Endries. Ruth retired to provide care giving for her grandchildren. Ruth had a green thumb and loved to tend to her garden, flower beds, and plants. She was skilled in sewing and sewed everything from clothes to curtains. She had a passion for food from canning to cooking, and she always had the best recipes. She was devoted to volunteering her time as a school librarian, making and serving soup suppers, serving on the Sheriff's Department ladies auxiliary and church committees.
