Donald Faye Ruiter was born on March 31, 1935 to Bernerd and Marie (Kahler) Ruiter. He attended country school near Klemme until the 8th grade and graduated from Meservey High School in 1954. On September 20, 1954 Donald was united in marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Joan June Lage in Meservey, Iowa. Together they raised two sons, Randy (Suzie) Ruiter of Denver, Iowa and Danny Ruiter of Norfolk, Nebraska. Donnie and Joan worked for Fashion Farm in Meservey until buying the locker plant in Thornton, Iowa in 1964 where they worked until closing it in 1985. They then worked for the Sheffield Care Center for the next ten years before retiring. Donnie loved the outdoors and instilled that love in his sons and he hunted and fished until his health no longer allowed it. He loved sitting on his deck and looked forward to friends stopping by to visit. His favorite past time was watching sports on television and cheering on the Hawks, Twins or Cubs. He was a loving grandfather and great – grandfather and was always concerned that his “kids” were okay.
