Ruth Jane Skrable's Obituary
Ruth Jane Skrable, 91 of Huntersville, passed away Sunday, December 9, 2024. She was born on January 11, 1933, in Hackensack, New Jersey to the late Matilda and Julius Jorgensen. Ruth lived in Emerson and Manahawkin NJ, before moving to Huntersville NC in 2022.
Ruth loved being surrounded by her family. She was always ready to host all the holidays and babysit the grandchildren. She was very crafty and artistic. In addition to painting, crocheting, knitting, and needlework, she had great joy in her weekly ceramic classes, where the evenings often turned out to be more of a fun and rowdy social event. The family has many beautiful items that were created by Ruth. When she moved to Manahawkin, she volunteered for many years at the local hospital’s gift shop and joined the Lions Club with her husband Bob. In her recent years she continued to crochet and do Sudoku puzzles. She also enjoyed playing Joker with her great grandchildren.
Ruth was predeceased by the love of her life and high school sweetheart, Robert Skrable Sr.; children, Robert Skrable Jr. of Emerson, NJ, Lynne Hemsteger of Huntersville, NC, Julie Ingrassia of Lake Worth, FL and Donald Skrable of Emerson, NJ; 6 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or Lions Club International.
