Ruth M. White's Obituary
WHITE, Ruth M. 97, of Largo went to be with the Lord on Sunday, July 7, 2019. A native of Pittsburgh, PA, Ruth married the love of her life Edward in 1946. Ruth received her Doctorate in Education, and retired in 1985 from Pennsylvania Department of Education after 22 years of service in the Exceptional Children’s Program. Shortly after her retirement, Ruth and Edward moved to Florida to be with their daughter Janis. After the death of her husband in 2001, Ruth volunteered in the Pharmacy at Suncoast Hospice for 10 years. Ruth was an active member of Delta Zeta Sorority for many years, and a member of Pasadena Community Church. Ruth was an amazingly witty lady, with a great sense of humor. She had a gift for making unique greeting cards, customizing each verse. Ruth will be forever loved by everyone who knew her. She is survived by her son-in-law Richard Bistritz and several loving cousins. Her daughter Janis Bistritz passed earlier this year. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at Memorial Park 5750-49th Street North, St. Petersburg, on Monday, July 15, 2019, at 10AM, with the viewing to begin at 9AM, followed by a reception at 11:30AM. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Ruth’s memory to Suncoast Hospice Foundation 5771 Roosevelt Blvd., Clearwater, FL 33760.
