Shively Funeral Home
Ruth Constance (Price) Zerkle, age 89, passed away Wednesday morning, 
September 28, 2011 in her Westville home with her beloved husband of 60 years 
by her side. Ruth was born on May 21, 1922 in 
Westville, a daughter of the late J.R. and Parnie (Phillips) Price. She 
married Kenneth M. Zerkle on December 16, 1950. Together they raised two 
children who survive: John M. (Sue) Zerkle of Tipp City and Connie Crocker of 
Urbana. She was a loving grandmother to four grandchildren: Heidi (Matt) 
Reynolds, Celina, Oh; Amanda (Dustin) Cole, Sidney, Oh; Rebecca (Russel) 
Eichhorn, Troy, Oh; Lucas Zerkle of Tipp City, Oh; and five great 
grandchildren: Isabelle and Jacob Eichhorn, Grant and Aiden Cole, and Nolan 
Reynolds. One brother, Paul (Barbara) Price of Urbana and many nieces and 
nephews also survive. In addition to her parents, Ruth was preceded in death 
by a sister, Esther Channell and brothers, Ewing and Robert Price. Ruth loved 
her family very much and was very proud of them. A 1940 graduate of Westville 
School, Ruth went on to attend Moore’s Business School in Urbana. She worked 
at Wright Patterson AFB from 1941-1944 where she discovered her true calling 
of becoming a registered nurse. She graduated from the Community Hospital 
School of Nursing in 1947 where she was in the nurse’s cadet program. Ruth 
retired with 30 years of service at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Oh. Ruth 
was a lifelong member of the Westville United Methodist Church and proud to be 
on the cradle roll there. The family wishes to express special thanks to 
Ruth’s wonderful neighbors and friends, along with Evercare Hospice who 
provided loving, supportive care. A celebration of Ruth’s life will be held on 
Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. in the Atkins-Shively Funeral Home, 216 
S. Springfield Street, St. Paris, Ohio with Pastors Chuck Glover, Sandi 
Maynard, and Matthew Reynolds presiding. Burial will follow in Terre Haute
