Ruth M. Adam

Ruth M. Adam, 100, passed away peacefully on January 5, 2025, in
Keystone Villa at Fleetwood, surrounded by her loving family. Born on
October 21, 1924, in Calcium, at the family farm near Lake Ontelaunee.
Ruth was a radiant soul whose presence brought warmth and love to
everyone fortunate enough to know her.
A proud graduate of Leesport High School in 1942, Ruth devoted much of
her life to her career as a sewing machine operator at Temple Apparel.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Ruth’s heart thrived in the
communities she fervently engaged with. As a long-standing member of
Maidencreek Church, Ruth found joy in her faith, connecting deeply
with those around her. She was also a Charter Member of the Blandon
Lioness Club, Member of the Eastern Stars and the Blandon Senior
Citizens.
Ruth was not only committed to her work and community but also her
hobbies and interests. Her love for quilting was a testament to her
creativity, as was her passion for reading. Traveling also brought her
immense joy. Most importantly, Ruth treasured the moments spent with
her family, a cornerstone of her life’s happiness.
She leaves behind a loving legacy, including her daughters, Linda L.
Marquardt, wife of Clete, of Wyomissing, and Deborah A. Didyoung, wife
of Tony, of Reading. Ruth was the proud grandmother of Jody (Didyoung)
Graham, wife of John, Ashleigh (Marquardt) Turner, wife of Ben, and
Adam Marquardt, husband of Whitney. Her heart swelled with pride for
her great-grandchildren, Ian and Jillian Graham, Colton, Avery, and
Addison Marquardt, and Charlie and Emily Turner.
Ruth was predeceased by her husband of 73 years, Frederick “Fritz”
Adam; Her parents, Llewellyn and Maud (Seidel) Schaeffer, and her
siblings, Harry L. Schaeffer, Elsie E. Adam, and an infant sister,
Anna Cathrine Schaeffer.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff
and residents at Keystone Villa at Fleetwood for the incredible
kindness and unwavering support they have shown Ruth over the years.
Your compassion, patience, and genuine care have made all the
difference in her life, and for that, we are truly grateful.
