Ruth Belknap Obituary
Ruth on Mother's Day

Glenn Belknap and Ruth Belknap

Ruth Darr Belknap

Ruth L. Darr began life in Rhinelander, WI. Her father Curtis and Mother Violette were happy to add to their family. Her brother (Pat) and two sisters (Claudette and Gloria) welcomed their sibling with open arms.

Glenn T. Belknap

Glenn Belknap began life in Geddes, SD, but moved to Albany, OR and graduated from Albany High School. He joined the military, and served overseas where he was awarded several medals.

Ruth met Glenn Belknap in Albany, OR, and the two married soon after. They spent many happy years together.

After 44 years of marriage, successfully raising two children, and doing countless amounts of charity work, Ruth died at her home in Tacoma, WA on January 12, 2006, following a long battle with Alzheimer's and dementia.  She was preceded in death by her parents Curtis and Violet Darr.

Glenn died Monday, January 23, 06, at his home 16 days after being diagnosed with cancer (he passed away 11 days after Ruth).
Glenn is preceded in death by brother Everett and sister Mavis, and is survived by his brother Dean Belknap and sisters Jeanene Hunter and Alice Finch.

We ask your help in rejoicing Ruth and Glenn's lives.
{Author's note: My heart is fit to burst, but they lived almost their entire lives together, and did everything together. I am happy that they weren't apart, even in death, for very long)

Ruth and Glenn are survived by their son Ty {your humble narrator) and daughter Jeanie (Bruser) and 5 grandchildren.
Ruth's surviving family are: Sisters Claudette Langholz (with husband Richard) and Gloria Forney (with husband Clyde); and brother Pat Darr (with wife Julie).
Glenn's surviving family are: Sisters Jenine and Alice, and brother Dean.

Ruth and Glenn are now in God's hands. It's up to us to show that their positive influence on our lives was accepted and passed on.

The memorial for Glenn and Ruth was held at the Tahoma National Cemetery on Tuesday, January 31, 2006. The ceremony was given with honors and a military salute.

I wish to thank the wonderful people at Klontz Funeral Home for their support and attention to detail during this trying time. It seemed I would barely start asking a question, and Gary or Karen would answer "it's okay, we're taking care of it."

*Glenn and Ruth were major supporters of both Intra-Designs and Daffodil Valley Times. We will all miss them very much.
