HERSHBERGER—Ruth Jean, 87, formerly of Richland Township, died September 13, 2018, in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she lived for the past three years to be close to immediate family. Ruth Jean was born October 11, 1930, to Carl C. Roberts and Evalyn J. (Willard) Roberts. She was preceded in death by her parents and her high school sweetheart and husband of 66 years, Nyle M. Hershberger.

She is survived by her children, Michael (Debbie Layton) of Cincinnati, OH and Diane (Rodger Kube) of Kansas City, MO, grandchildren Nichole Fisher (Columbus, OH), Michelle Lipps (Cincinnati, OH) and Mikka Kube (Manama, Bahrain), and 7 great-grandchildren. Ruth Jean graduated from Richland High School in 1948. Immediately following graduation, she worked in the office at the high school.

She then worked as a secretary in the School of Agriculture at Penn State for two years. In 1963, Ruth Jean returned to Richland High School and served as a secretary until her retirement in 1985. She spent the next 25 years making hundreds of Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, over 600 artisan teddy bears and many other fabric crafts which brought as much joy to her to make as they did to the persons receiving them.

Together with Nyle, Ruth Jean made significant commitments in support of Shoes for Orphaned Souls, Angels of East Africa Children’s Orphanage, Operation Christmas Child, along with many other mission-focused causes.
