Survived by her children, Chris (Dorie), Roberta (Mike) Mulholland, Jerry, Michele (Ken) Schuman, Patrick (Vicki), George (Lisa), Henry (Wendy), 21 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. She was an unassuming farm girl from Southern Illinois who knew that God had given her the gifts to raise a family. Early on she helped to raise her younger siblings, and then started her own family at 19. She lived for nothing more than her husband and children. Each of her children has grown to be strong, unique and successful in their own right, and we all represent aspects of her great personality. Ruth continued to use her God-given talents in service to others around her and in the many organizations she was a part of including CCW, Ladies of Columbus and Homemakers. She passed peacefully. Although she suffered from Alzheimer's, one thought that gives us peace is that in heaven her memory will return perfectly and she will again enjoy the lifetime of happiness that raising a family brought her.

Ruth Joyce (Kuenstler) Bene', the oldest daughter of Henry and Georgianna Kuenstler, passed away Saturday, April 2, 2016 from pneumonia after a long struggle with Alzheimer's.

Born: March 25, 1938, Clay County, IL
Married: March 2, 1957, Wendelin, IL
Died: April 2, 2016, Joliet, IL

Preceded in death by her husband, John.

Survived by her children, Chris (Dorie), Roberta (Mike) Mulholland, Jerry, Michele (Ken) Schuman, Patrick (Vicki), George (Lisa), Henry (Wendy), 21 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren.

She was an unassuming farm girl from Southern Illinois who knew that God had given her the gifts to raise a family. Early on she helped to raise her younger siblings, and then started her own family at 19.

She lived for nothing more than her husband and children. Each of her children has grown to be strong, unique and successful in their own right, and we all represent aspects of her great personality.

Ruth continued to use her God-given talents in service to others around her and in the many organizations she was a part of including CCW, Ladies of Columbus and Homemakers.

She passed peacefully. Although she suffered from Alzheimer's, one thought that gives us peace is that in heaven her memory will return perfectly and she will again enjoy the lifetime of happiness that raising a family brought her.

Funeral Services will be held at St. Paul the Apostle, Joliet, on Thursday, April 7, 2016, at 10:00 am. Visitation at the Blackburn-Giegerich-Sonntag Funeral Home, 1500 Black Rd, Joliet, on Wednesday, April 6 from 4:00 to 8:00 pm.
