PAUL — Ruth Adelle (Miller) Spilinek, 91, of St. Paul died Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015, at Howard County Medical Center in St. Paul. Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Friday at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in St. Paul with the Revs. Rayappa Konka, Ray Kosmicki and Mark Maresh officiating. Burial will be at Elba Cemetery. Peters Funeral Home of St. Paul is in charge of arrangements. Ruth was born on May 28, 1924, on the family farm in Howard County, the daughter of Charles T. and Lora (Smith) Miller. She is survived by nine daughters and eight sons-in-law, Nancy and Bob Wood of Greeley, Linda Wilson and her special friend, Bobby Dugan, of Grand Island, Judy and Mark Dugan of Elba, Christie and Ned Vlach of Milford, Laura and Ed Methe of Kearney, Marilyn and Todd Beck of Wolbach, Jeanine and Mark Soneson of Milford, Kathleen and David Kuszak of Elba and Monica and Arend Wolzen of Hickman; and one sister, Mary Anne Jarecki of Tyler, Texas. She also leaves to cherish her memory 23 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Catherine Miller of Beatrice, Alma Miller of Medford, Ore., and Roberta Spilinek of McCook; brother-in-law, Dale and wife Sally Spilinek of Hastings; and stepsister-in-law, Fern Nielsen of Grand Island. Ruth attended St. Libory District 76 through eighth grade and graduated from St. Paul High School in 1941 on her 17th birthday. She taught school for one year at Paplin, one year at District 8 between Midway and Elba and two years at St. Libory District 76. She took off-campus courses to renew her teaching certificate. She later worked as a typesetter and proofreader at the Phonograph Herald newspaper in St. Paul. On Jan. 6, 1948, she married Ralph A. Spilinek at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in St. Paul. They had met at a dance and continued to enjoy dancing throughout their marriage. The couple first made their home on various farms in the Elba and Farwell areas and finally settled just outside of Elba in the beautiful North Loup Valley on their own farm. Ruth worked alongside Ralph in all their farming and business ventures. They worked diligently and dedicated their lives to their family business, Spilinek Fertilizer Service, and later Spilinek Irrigation Inc. Ruth did the bookkeeping for their farm and business, which included the sale of Zimmatic center pivots and Buffalo Farm Equipment. Ruth also did books for Elba Public School for 10 years, and education was a priority for both her and Ralph. After they sold their business, they purchased a home in St. Paul where they resided until Ralph’s passing on July 18, 2008. Ruth then moved into Matelyn Retirement Community where she continued to live until March of this year. She finally settled into Brookefield Park. Ruth many times voiced her feeling that she didn’t do enough for her family, but her family knows that she was an angel on earth who quietly encouraged and inspired all of us. She and Ralph faithfully followed their children’s, grandchildren’s and great-grandchildren’s sporting, musical and academic events. She also enjoyed watching and listening to the Cornhuskers and the St. Louis Cardinals. She loved playing cards, bingo and the lottery. To everyone’s amazement, she continued bowling in a league until earlier this year. She had the kindest heart and always thought of others first. She was a very loving and giving person, who will be greatly missed. Her patience and understanding will be remembered by everyone who knew her. Ruth was a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Elba and its Council of Catholic Women. She was also a member of the Elba Senior Citizens and the Elba Community Club. In addition to her husband, Ralph, she was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Grace Warrell, Jane Fowler, Joyce Weber and infant baby sister; and brothers, William, George and Raymond Miller.
