Our loving mother Ruth Minnie Klemp  was born on April 4, 1930  to the late William and Minnie (Jahn) Klemp, and raised in the Port Hope area with her 10 siblings. She worked at the Port Hope Level factory and then the seat belt factory in Bad Axe. She enjoyed working in the factories and making friends. As her family grew she became a stay at home mom taking care of her eight sons along with helping her husband on the family farm. Ruth also helped raise most of her grandchildren and many of her great grandchildren, and really enjoyed loving them and spending special time with them. Ruth enjoyed gardening, canning, her flowers and embroidery work. Ruth had a very strong faith in God and was a very active member of St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Kinde. She had a great sense of humor and was Beloved by everyone she met.

The family would like to thank Seasons Change Hospice for their loving supportive care for their Mothers' final days, especially Vicky, Denise and Brittany.
