Ruth Elaine Miller, age 84, of Hastings MI passed away December 14, 2022 surrounded by her
family and her sweet dog, Lily.

Ruth was born on July 19, 1938, daughter to Thurlow and Harriett (Goodell) Anspaugh. Ruth
was raised and attended school in Woodland. In 1956 she was married to Ben Dove, and they
had two children together, Brenda, and Brian. She married Arvid (Al) Miller in 1967. While both
marriages ended in divorce, she remained good friends with them both and they preceded her
in death.

Ruth's employment history includes Thornapple Manor, E.W. Bliss (where she was on the first
woman crew hired there), Proline, Wal-Mart, and Flexfab, where she retired from on October
11, 2013 after 30 years of employment. She absolutely loved her Flexfab family and remained a
faithful retiree.

Ruth was a special lady. She gave the best back scratches and hugs. She loved her pets,
crocheting, traveling, beaches, going to the casino, going to her favorite Mexican restaurant in
Marshall, listening to Bob Seger, playing cards and having bonfires. Most of all she loved being
with her family, and her friends. Ruth made a friend everywhere she went and will be
remembered and missed by all who knew her.

Ruth will be dearly missed by her daughter, Brenda (Darryl) Rummins, and son, Brian (Lee)
Dove. Grandchildren, Tracy (Ben) Furrow, Tim Huver, Cara Rummins, Stephanie Dove, and
Lindsey Dove. Great-grandchildren, Thomas (Natalie) Furrow, Benjamin Furrow, Jr., Joey
Furrow, Riley Furrow, Jason Huver and Sam Dove. Pets, Lily, Dodger, Coonie and Bear, and
many friends.

Ruth was preceded in death by five brothers, her parents, a sister, Virginia (Ginny) Stutz, and
brother-in-law, John Stutz.
