Ruth E. Desordi's Obituary
Ruth Eleanor DeSordi passed away peacefully at home on December 17th after a courageous battle with cancer. Mom was born on November 18, 1913 in Big Lakes, WA to Charles and Lois Lind. She was preceded in death by her son, Michael, her parents, three sisters, and two brothers. Aside from her family, her greatest passion in life was dancing. She not only loved ballroom dancing, but was also a member of a dance troupe, The Senioritas, a group of senior citizen ladies who performed for nursing homes and other organizations. Ruth also enjoyed playing Bunco, playing the slots, working crossword puzzles, and reading. She believed God is love and lived by the Golden Rule, treating everyone with kindness and respect. She is survived by sons Joe (Marlene), Charles (Vikki), daughters Lois Kennedy (Lorne), and Patricia Hughes (Michael), loving niece Linda Willett, 10 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank her number one caregiver, daughter-in-law Marlene, Dr. Odenthal, her staff, and Hospice for all their loving care and kindness. At her request there will be no services. Contributions in her memory may be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
