She was born October 3, 1916, in Aplington, Iowa. Ruth Ellen Bruns was the daughter of Heiko and Anne (Bengen) Bruns. She graduated from the Dumont High School in 1933. On October 3, 1935, she married Harry Fred Meyer who preceded her in death on November 24, 1972. With the exception of three years in the employment of Swift & Company, they were engaged in farming. Along with her being a very active partner in the farming operation, Ruth was a bookkeeper for Northrup King & Company for 26 years. She was a member of the Trinity Lutheran Church and active in the LWML women's group. Ruth enjoyed cooking and baking for family and friends. Chocolate cake became her trademark for frequent guests. Home canned peaches, fresh applesauce, homemade rolls and her famous strawberry jam made stopping at Ruth's a treat for everyone. She enjoyed living at the Franklin Prairie Assisted Living for the past year and continued there with her love of baking. When visiting Ruth in the past year, guests often took portions of her cake and cookies home as a treat for later. Her family and friends were her life and she enjoyed all of their visits. Ruth also enjoyed playing cards and, before her "fingers quit working", she made many quilts and lots of crochet items. These also were shared with others. Mourning her passing are two sons; Larry (Marlys) Meyer of Geneva and Lyle (Judy) Meyer of Iowa City; brother, Robert (Venita) Bruns of Allison; sister-in-law, Beth Bruns of Mesa, Arizona; four grandchildren, Janelle (Brad) McCalla, Alan (Kristi) Meyer, Steve Meyer, and Quenten (Amber) Meyer; and nine great grandchildren as well as other relatives and cherished friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Fred (Violet) and Jake (Beth) Bruns, sisters Gertrude (Fred) Van Dyke and Doris (Bruno) Asche. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Trinity Lutheran Church of Hampton. Courtsey of Richard Bohn
