She was born January 3, 1926, near Archbold, the daughter of Edward and Dinah (Leupp) Miller, and married Maurice "Smoke" Schmucker on January 3, 1943. A lifelong resident of the Archbold area, she was a homemaker and worked at Ohio Gas Company in Archbold and Bryan for twenty years before retiring in 1988.  Ruth enjoyed wintering 18 years in Florida, cooking, sharing her cookies with anyone who stopped to visit, and loved playing with the granddogs.  She was a member of St. John's Christian Church in Archbold.

She is survived by her husband of 74 years, Maurice; three daughters, Shiela (Kent) Short and Shari Lauber, both of Wauseon, and Susan (Brad) Enderle of Archbold; 7 grandchildren; 7 great-grandchildren; and a sister Velma Overmier of Archbold.

She was preceded in death by her parents; five brothers, Dale Miller, Floyd Miller, Glen Miller, Leonard Miller Sr., and Orval Miller; two sisters, Lorine Miller and Lucille "Buzz" Ziegler.

Services will be held on Thursday at 10:30 AM at St. John's Christian Church with Pastors Erich Christman and Alex Young officiating.  Interment will follow in the Archbold Cemetery.  Friends may call at St. John's  Christian Church from 2 – 8 PM on Wednesday.  Short Funeral Home in Archbold has been entrusted with the arrangements.  The family suggests that memorials be given to Southern Care Hospice or St. John's Christian Legacy Fund.
