Ruth Louise Jutte, born on June 4, 1961, in Cincinnati, Ohio, peacefully concluded her life's journey on August 19, 2026, at home, after a courageous and brief battle with Multiple Myeloma. Ruth was a beloved daughter, wife, mother, sister, and friend, whose warmth and humor left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

Ruth was the cherished daughter of Kathryn Marcella Schindler (Haap) and the late Joseph William Schindler. She is deeply mourned by her devoted husband of 40 years, LeRoy Jutte, whom she married on October 19, 1985, in Cincinnati. Together they built a life filled with love, laughter, and shared adventures. Ruth and LeRoy were blessed with two sons, Christopher Jutte (Dana) and Brandon Jutte, who were the pride and joy of her life.

A graduate of the Class of 1979 from Our Lady Of Angels High School and a proud alumna of the University of Cincinnati, Ruth was a lifelong learner with a keen intellect and a passion for knowledge. Her professional life was marked by dedication and a desire to help others, a trait that permeated every aspect of her personal life as well.

Ruth had a great love for the outdoors and cherished the times spent camping with LeRoy, exploring nature's beauty. Her hobbies reflected her creativity and generosity; she was an avid quilter and loved cross-stitching, always eager to share her beautiful creations with family and friends. Her work was not just a craft but an expression of love, stitched into each piece she made.

Known for her infectious sense of humor and boundless compassion, Ruth had a unique ability to bring happiness to those around her. She was always ready to lend a helping hand, offering support and kindness anytime, anywhere. Her spirit of generosity extended to her family, where she was a beloved sister to Michael J. Schindler (Julie), Mary Alice Brennan (William), Anne K. Aponte (Alfonso), Edward J. Schindler, and Linda Lee Schuh (Troy). Her presence will also be deeply missed by her numerous nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

Ruth's life was a testament to the power of love, humor, and selflessness. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth and kindness that will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Ruth's memory to support research and awareness of Multiple Myeloma. Her enduring spirit and love will forever be remembered and cherished by all whose lives she touched.
