aged 89, of Wayne, passed Sunday, September 4, 2016.
Ruth was born in Passaic to Joseph and Emma Skvarla. She graduated from Passaic high school with the class of 1945 and continued her education at St. Mary's hospital nursing school. She worked her way through nursing school while working at a factory in Passaic, making lipstick tube. She received her RN and immediately went to work as a nurse.
It was while working as a nurse that she met a handsome man named Robert Stueber. Ruth was caring for his aunt and it was she who helped to introduce the two. Robert was working for Mobile Oil Corporation and working in South America. He had taken a leave from work to visit his aunt.

Once married, the two moved to Bogota, Columbia. They had the first child, Richard in Bogota. Robert and Ruth then moved to Caracas, Venezuela, where their second child, Sharon was born. Robert then retired from Mobile oil and the family moved to 24 Valley View Terrace in Wayne. Their third child, Janet was born shortly thereafter. Most recently, Ruth moved to Dallas, Pennsylvania to be close to her daughter, Sharon.
Ruth was a dedicated mother and grandmother who loved children, especially babies. She was extremely skilled in the kitchen, and her family would liken her to Julia Childs.
She will be fondly remembered for her shrimp spaghetti, Spanish rice and cherry pie. Ruth was a very giving person and would volunteer for for just about anything. For many years, she was an Eucharist Minister at the Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains. She was a dedicated member of the Wayne first aid squad for 35 years, having joined the squad in 1968.
