Ruth A. Grushon

Ruth A. Grushon, of Dayton, Ohio, passed away on November 9, 2026, at the age of 94. Born on June 24, 1932, in Dayton, Ruth lived a long life marked by devotion to her family, enjoyment of simple pleasures, and enthusiasm for the teams she loved.

Ruth worked for Karlton Envelope for many years, and in her later working years she did office work for National City Mortgage. She was known for the things that brought her joy and kept her connected to others. She loved watching sports and was an avid fan of the Buffalo Bills, Alabama Crimson Tide, Bengals, Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Dayton Flyers. She was able to attend many games throughout her life, and her family will always treasure memories of going to the stadium with her. Ruth was also an animal lover, and her dogs, Peanut and Teddy Bear, brought her much happiness. In the summertime, she especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch on her porch swing, talking with her neighbors and taking in the day.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Eugene Grushon, her parents, Dan Wilcher and Minnie Lou Wilcher and by 13 Brothers and Sisters.

Ruth is survived by her two sons, Robert Rose and his wife, Tiffani, and Marc Adrien. She will be remembered with love by her family and by all who shared in the warmth of her company, her love of sports, and the comfort of everyday moments spent together.
