Obituary for Cheryl R. Ruck
Cheryl R. Ruck, age 74, passed away early Saturday, April 10, 2021 at Park View Health Center in Oshkosh.
The oldest of five children born to Charles and Theresa “Dolly” Albashian on July 1, 1946. Cheryl was a 1964 graduate of Omro High School. After briefly attending WSC-Oshkosh, she married Gerald M. Ruck on November 27, 1965. After being blessed with two children, they later divorced.
Cheryl was a tireless worker, and successful at a variety of jobs she attempted. At the interview for one of her very first positions in the bakery department at a local grocery store, she was asked what prior experience she had at working. She replied that she had worked in her father’s Bait shop. The interviewer thought she said, “Father’s Bake Shop,” and she got the job! She gained experience decorating cakes, and eventually it became a life-long passion, as she loved baking and decorating many beautiful cakes for family and friend’s special occasions.
Cheryl was employed by Basler’s of Oshkosh, had a stint at driving city bus, and also worked at Rockwell in Oshkosh for a number of years.
Cheryl’s other interests, besides cake decorating, included hunting, reading, doing crossword puzzles, gardening, writing poetry, cooking, camping, and trying her luck at the casinos. She was proud of both her Chevy truck and motorcycle, and liked to take road trips in her free time.
Cheryl is survived by her daughter, Becky Grimm (Aaron), Wautoma; grandchildren Mitchell Ruck (Jason Cintron), New York, Chelsea Delzer (Jared Langenhorst), Colorado, Gabrielle Delzer, Berlin; her daughter-in-law, Lorie Ruck, Oshkosh; three sisters, Carla Anderson (Thomas), Reno, NV, Colleen Longworth (James) Oshkosh, Connie Schuster (Thomas) Omro, and one brother, Michael Albashian (Pamela) Omro. Further survived by nieces, nephews, special friends.
In addition to her parents, and former husband, Cheryl was preceded in death by her son Daniel Ruck, and grandson David Ruck.
A visitation will be from 12:00 p.m. until the time of the funeral service at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 18, 2021 at Kwiatkowski Funeral Home. Interment will be in Lakeview Memorial Park, Oshkosh.
The family extends a special thank you to the entire staff of Parkview Health Center for their loving and attentive care.
