Ruth Ann Goebel Kelly, born to Nina Jean (Sams) Goebel and the late Howard Wayne Goebel on November 9, 1947, bid her final farewell to us all on her terms and her way on December 26, 2023. Ruth Ann married the absolute LOVE of her life, Glen Edward “Butch” Kelly on November 14, 1969.
Ruth Ann is survived by two daughters, Barbara (Jerry) Ninke and Becky (Lee) Frobeter and son Robert (Debbie) Rockel; grandchildren, Jacob (Sarah) Ninke, Owen Ninke, Caitlynn (Don) Chandler, Sydney (Harrison) Cieslack-Phillips, Benjamin (Ashley) Phillips, Haley, Brooke and Ashton Rocke; and great-grandchildren, Fletcher Cieslack, Addler, Greyson and Miles Phillips.
Once Ruth Ann had made her final wishes clear to everyone, she was “busted” out of the rehab facility (no weapons involved) by the fab 3. Momsie would not want a long drawn out dramatic obit, (insert dramatic eye roll…). We shall “let her go” with proud and heartfelt chop chop fling birches!! (You had to be there!) You fought long and you fought hard, so very proud of you! Peace out momsie! Stay sassy! We love you! Toots till next time!!
Special thanks to Sherita and Emma (the real OG’s) at Encompass Health, as well as Heart to Heart Hospice staff, SCCOA, and her crew at DaVita, Tell City.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Spencer County Council on Aging.
Private services are being planned for a later date. Fuller Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
