Ruth was born in Martins Ferry, OH and graduated from Tiltonsville High School. She spent most of her adult life in Martins Ferry as a homemaker lovingly raising three children, Jeff, Marcie, and Tausha Ronevich. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She is one of two children born to the late Roy and Kathryn (Leach) Marquardt and was the beloved wife of Alex Ronevich for over 52 years.

Ruth loved laughing, being with family, attending sporting and academic events of her growing grandchildren, and enjoyed her dog, Trinket.

Friends and family will be received Wednesday 2-4 & 6-8 pm at the Heslop Funeral Home, Walnut at Fifth, Martins Ferry, OH where services will be held Thursday, Oct. 21, 2010 at 11:00 am with Rev.
