Sept. 29, 2012 Lake Odessa, MI- Ruth Huckaba (Nielsen) of Lake Odessa, age 62, went to be with her Lord on Saturday, September 22, 2012. She was preceded in death by her husband, Rick Huckaba; parents, Ken and Fern Nielsen and step-daughter, Kristin Armstrong. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Erin (Mike) Anderson, Heather (Russell) Fruchey, Jason (Val) Ackerson; step-son, Gerald (Janelle) Huckaba; seven grandchildren; siblings, John Nielsen and Jean White; and many nieces and nephews. Ruth was known by many to be a compassionate, caring friend. She loved spending time with family and friends socializing. She was known for her giving nature and was always willing to lend a hand to anyone that asked. She left a legacy of afghans with she handed out as gifts to those she thought needed the extra warmth and love. In later years, Ruth could be seen racing around town on her scooter, challenging local children to races - even winning sometimes. She loved to live life and lived it as fully as she was able. Funeral services were held at Friday, September 28, 2012, at Koops Funeral Chapel. Interment was at Lakeside Cemetery. In honor of Ruth, contributions may be made to the Huckaba family.
