"Adeline" Ruth (Single) Mauthe

With her Husband John and daughter Joanne by her side, Ruth Adeline Mauthe (Single) passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019 at Third Crossing Manor in Gladstone.

            Adeline was born on March 28th, 1930 on the family farm at Waldersee. Mom was blessed to be a part of a family of 13 siblings, so life was never boring. She attended Cory School, which was across the road from the farm. So, no excuse that you couldn’t make it to school!

            On October 24th, 1948 John and Adeline were married and began their life together. They worked hard at farming to provide for their family. Mom loved gardening, and preserving food for the winter.  She also took delight in her flowers, and there were always many to admire! She worked alongside Dad, whether it was milking cows, gathering the eggs or driving the tractor and binder. She was active in the community, being part of Ladies Ministry at church, and was a leader for 4-H Garden and Sewing Clubs. She passed her gardening, sewing and knitting skills down to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. In fact, she continued to knit until only recently.  Mom and Dad also enjoyed their many years of bowling.

            In May of 2016, due to Adeline’s health, Mom and Dad moved from the farm to Plumas.  Then, in Oct of 2018, they moved to Centennial Apts. in Gladstone. Mom became a resident of Third Crossing Manor in Dec. 2018. 

            Adeline was predeceased by her parents; 9 siblings and son-in-law Ron Fehr. She is survived by her husband John; daughters Carol Mauthe, Joanne Fehr, Alice Mauthe, Sally Rossnagel; and son Larry Mauthe;   Joanne’s children: Shelley (Brian) Hamm, Jennifer (Murray) Hiebert, Michael (Janice) Fehr and great grandchildren Joshua, Natasha, Lauren, Nahum, Caleb and Jocelyn. She is also survived by sisters Martha, Erna, Elsie and brother Alfred, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

            Her family extends heartfelt thanks to the TCM staff and Dr. Laurelyn Juadiong for their kind, compassionate care.  Their dedication is much appreciated.
