Ruth Lamy Brons, May 28,2013.  Born in Evanston, Illinois on November 2nd, 1937, she was the oldest child of the late Raymond P. Lamy and Ruth Lamy.  She is survived by her brother, Ray, and her sister, Holly.

On June 13th, 1959 she married her husband of 54 years, Jack Brons.  She is the mother of Marianne Cooley, Betsy Snyder and Mickey Brons.  She is the proud grandmother of 14: Cara and Ned Cooley, Drew, Brent, Mandy, Cory and TJ Snyder, and Edmund, Tess, Charlize, Jack, Miriam, Gil and Peter Brons.

She was a woman of great faith.  A daily communicant at St. Joseph's of Lancaster, she practiced her faith in many ways but very notably through her unparalleled generosity to her family and friends.  She was always more concerned about the needs of others than of her own.

She was a model wife, mother, grandmother and friend.  An excellent cook, hostess, fixer of wounds, teacher and adviser, she dubbed herself "Loving Domestic Engineer." Sometimes known as "bawl 'em out on the spot Mommy," her love for her husband, children, grandchildren, extended family and friends was unconditional and unbounded-although she expected all to be the best that they could be, all the time.

Finally, she always told her family and friends that she prayed.  She was a true prayer warrior.  We who she leaves behind are comforted by the knowledge that she still is.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the Requiem Mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 440 St. Joseph St., Lancaster, PA 17603 on Friday, June 7, 2013 at 11AM, the Rev. John Ringley as Celebrant. Interment will be private in Evanston, IL. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to St. Joseph Catholic Church at the above address.
