My sympathy to all of the Stroemple family. I feel terrible that I can't be there today but I hope to see all of you tomorrow. Maryruth was one of the great people if you grew up in Strongsville in those days, especially if you were in the Delaware Drive area. We were all lucky to know her. Her warm hearted and generous personality was a constant presence in the neighborhood. She is a big part of many happy memories especially the many haircuts that we all recieved in the utility room. She was also such a good friend to my mom and we will never forget that. May God bless her.

Maryruth's gentle, kind, sweet & loving Spirit that she showed, will be missed by all who knew her. Our sympathy to all the family. Give GOD thanks for all the good memories you have. May HE comfort you at this time of sorrow. Sincerely, Bill & Marilyn Wittenmyer
Favorite earliest memory: Haircuts for sure! Favorite memory in general: Seeing your mom and the whole town at the carnival back in the day (and grad parties). Life Lesson: Knowing that all of us "Old time Strongsville off spring" had the best role models for parents, family values and loving homes/community (even though we may not have deserved them sometimes ...just sayin'!). My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
XOXO
