Juanita H. Ruh

Juanita “Nita” was born to eternal life and joined her husband, Woody, on September 10, 2022 at Cedar Community in West Bend. She was born on April 30, 1925 to her late beloved parents, Arno Stecker and Florence Johnson.

Juanita loved the farm she grew up on with her parents and 3 brothers, and fell in love with Woody, the love of her life, when she was 14 years old. They were united in marriage in 1946 and were blessed with their beloved 4 children, Susan, Barbara, Mary, and Paul (Amy). She loved being a hairdresser which satisfied her desire to be surrounded by others. Her desire to be with others and to be of service also led to her involvement and volunteering in her church and at Cedar Community.

Juanita is survived by her 4 children and 9 grandchildren; Angie (Scott), Heather (Doug), Tanya (Corey), Eric, Matthew (Marlee), Jonathon “JJ”, Kathryn, Austin, and Paige. She is further survived by many beloved great-grandchildren, friends, and family.

Juanita is preceded in death by her parents, beloved husband, and brothers; Jerry (Beth), Lyle “Boots” (Elinor), and Wayne (Audrey).

A visitation will be held for Juanita at St. Luke Lutheran Church, 4860 Arthur Road in Slinger from 1:00 PM to 1:45 PM followed by a memorial service at 2:00 PM on Friday, September 23, 2022.
