HURLEY, Wis. - Ruth Arlove Bianchi, 93, Ironwood, died Nov. 11, 2020, after a brief illness. She was born April 29, 1927, in Ironwood, Michigan, to Stanley and Ann Dragosh.
As a child, Ruth's family moved from "the city" to a farm in Erwin Township. She enjoyed farm life, especially her pets and animals that lived in the barn and the woods. Her love of animals remained with her for life, and she particularly adored her "Precious" cat.
She graduated from Luther L. Wright High School in Ironwood and then continued her education obtaining a business degree from Gogebic Community College. Ruth later worked at the Ironwood Area Schools as a cook and custodian. She loved feeding everyone, both at work and at home! Her work ethic was incredible.
In May 1948, Ruth married Raymond Bianchi. They moved to a mining company house next to his parents in Newport Location and had five children: Ronald (Jessica) of Ironwood, Randall (Susan) of Green Bay, Rick (Cynthia) of Ironwood, and Renee (Scott Brooks) of Annandale, Minnesota.
Ruth was preceded in death by husband, Raymond (1996); and daughter, Roberta (2001) of Ironwood. Ruth is survived by her sister, Reena Yonkosky (Bob Hutcheson) of Cumming, Georgia; and also by her brother-in-law, Francis Bianchi (Shirley) of Ironwood.
Ruth was a beautiful, caring, kind and loving person with unbelievable strength. Her family was everything to her. Her constant dedication to ensuring they were happy and cared for existed throughout her life. Her love went beyond her own family to the many friends that were always welcome in her home; always with a home cooked meal. She made sure no one left hungry! The daily leftovers were shared with all critters outside, so she had a large gathering of wildlife visiting daily for a meal.
After the death of her husband, Ruth spent time traveling with her sister, Reena, and husband, Bob. She was able to visit France, Finland and Sweden with them to enjoy the sights and food.
Anyone who knew Ruth was touched by her quiet strength and selflessness. She truly demonstrated the meaning of unconditional love. Every phone call was asking about the wellbeing of her family and friends. No detail of your life was too small to share with her. She enjoyed playing cards and bingo and her nightly sip of brandy. It was obvious she took joy in every small interaction with her family; always telling them she loved them. Her amazing legacy will live on with her family and friends.
As per Ruth's wishes, cremation has taken place and she will be laid to rest in Ironwood with Raymond and Roberta.
