Ruth Tessmer

Posted

Ruth Tessmer (Jones) entered eternal rest on Jan. 25, 2019 at the age of 95. She was born in Cleveland, Ohio, then moved to Fountain Hills in 1976.

She was married 66 years to William Tessmer (deceased). She was a kind and loving mother to William (Renate), Susan (Andy Russetti), Robert, Neil (Janice) and Dale (Kelly).

Ruth was a very happy and spontaneous person. She was a true servant of the lord. She served 37 years as a volunteer for Scottsdale hospital and 27 years at St. Dominic’s Food Bank in Fountain Hills.

She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren very much. She was surrounded by many great friends. The lord has now received a wonderful saint in his heavenly realm. There will be a private memorial.
