MIDDLETON - Ruth J. Darling, age 91, passed away peacefully on Monday, Jan. 
15, 2007, after having spent her last four days with her children, Fred (Judy) 
Darling and Jane (Charles) Ellis at Attic Angel Place in Middleton. Ruth was 
born on Oct. 31, 1915, to Fred and Emma Tilton in Livingston, Mont. She moved 
to St. Paul, Minn., as a teenager. Ruth attended the University of Minnesota, 
where she met Henry Darling. They were married on July 3, 1936. They lived in 
Fairhope, Ala., for several years and returned to St. Paul, where Henry 
received his Ph.D. in plant pathology. Ruth and Henry moved to Madison, in 
1940, where he was a professor of plant pathology, specializing in potato 
research, at the University of Wisconsin from 1940 until 1976. Ruth was very 
active in University League, PTA, book and antique groups, volunteering at the 
University Hospital for many years and mentoring students at the local high 
school. She loved her friends, bridge, crossword puzzles, the Badgers and the 
Green Bay Packers and spent many hours in her beautiful gardens - roses were 
her favorite! Ruth's summers were spent at the University Potato Research Farm 
in Three Lakes, Wis., where she taught her kids to swim and fish and her 
grandkids how to have lots of fun in the outdoors. Ruth was an "on the floor" 
grandma and loved playing games, solving puzzles, reading books and creating 
special moments for her grandkids and great-grandkids. They will always have 
wonderful memories of the songs she would sing as they went to sleep. She 
loved her family and they loved her! Survivors include her two children, Fred 
(Judy) Darling of Depere, Wis. and Jane (Charles) Ellis of Fairfield, Conn.; 
seven grandchildren, Marianne (Mike) Kelly, Jonathan (Susan) Darling, Craig 
(Megan) Darling, Brad (Stacy) Ellis, Geoffrey (Phoebe) Ellis, Patrick (Gina) 
Ellis and Lyndsey Ellis; and 12 great-grandchildren, Meghan Kelly, Allison and 
Kathryn Darling, Patrick, Madeline and Ryan Darling, Emily, Andrew and 
Caroline Ellis and Whitaker, Lucie Jane and Henry Ellis; and a niece and 
nephew, Kim and Scott Washburn. A memorial service will be held at ATTIC ANGEL 
PLACE on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2007, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may
