Ruth F. Enlow, 69, of Lancaster, Ohio passed away on Friday, July 3, 2020 at her home.  She was born January 29, 1951 in Peoria, Illinois to the late Clarence and Margaret Turner.  After graduating from Pekin High School in Pekin, Illinois, Ruth worked as the secretary to the Dean at Bradley University where she met her future husband Ronald Enlow.  Ruth and Ron lived in several states and Canada, and Ruth worked a variety of jobs in those various locations.  God and her family were her focus in life, and Ruth was proud to devote her time and energy to both.  Her love for her family lives on in her granddaughter Makaila, her fiery spirit in her granddaughter Grace, and her zest for life in her grandson Jaden.  When they moved back to Lancaster, Ohio, Ruth was again an active member of Fifth Avenue Church of Christ where she attended Bible studies and helped out with pot luck dinners.

Ruth is survived by her husband of 46 years, Ron Enlow; daughter, Courtney (Joe) Beiter of Pleasantville, Ohio; son, Major Ryan E. (Heidi) Enlow, US Air Force, stationed in Alaska; grandchildren, Makaila, Grace and Jaden; brother, Les (Carol) Turner of Manito, Illinois; mother-in-law, Betty Unsicker and sister-in-law and brother-in-law Valerie (Ski) Veginski all of Morton, Illinois and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Clayton, granddaughter Callie Enlow and father-in-law Arthur Enlow.
