Ruth was certainly loved by her family and community. She was a friend to all who knew her. For years, she and her husband enjoyed meeting new friends through their “veggie” stand on 35th St. She was active in her church and with her neighbors, particularly those neighbors in the Villages of Appledorn. She was always happy to see her kids, grandkids, and great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James Rabbers, and her son, Steven D. Rabbers.
She is survived by her son, Jerry Rabbers; son, David, and Carol Rabbers; former daughter-in-law, Wanda Rabbers; 9 grandchildren, including, grandson, Josh and Christen Rabbers; granddaughter, Janelle, and Andy Cook; 13 great-grandchildren; and brother-in-law, Kenneth, and Ruth Rabbers.
