Ruth Mae Shambach, age 91, was a lifelong resident of Pricetown, OH. She went home to be with the lord and her missed loved ones on December 19, 2022. She was born on Nov. 21, 1931, in Newton Falls, OH the daughter of the late Clyde Williams and Helen (Besse) Williams. She built a house on her family farm, across from her beloved Pricetown United Methodist Church, where she raised her two boys and spoiled her grandchildren.

Ruth graduated from Newton Falls High School in the Class of 1949. She worked as an assembler/inspector at General Electric in Austintown for 29 years retiring on Jan 1, 1997. She enjoyed dancing with her best friend Millie, playing bridge, traveling, watching the Cleveland Indians & Cleveland Cavaliers, and caring for her cats. But, most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her two granddaughters, Mandy and Hilliary. They had her wrapped around their finger from the time they came into her life, and she loved every minute of it; they learned from each other. Then the next generations came… and they were just as blessed.

Ruth was a lifelong member of Pricetown United Methodist Church. She loved volunteering with her grandchildren, helping with the Christmas program, and cherished all the friends that turned into family along the way. She was a staple serving at the dessert table of the annual turkey supper. Volunteering every year was a family affair not to be missed.
