Ruth Veyette (nee Wash) January 20, 1962-October 15, 2023
Ruth died peacefully at home, surrounded by family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Wash and Mary Smith; her siblings, Robert Wash, Jr., Roberta Shaver, and Ramona Herbert; her niece, Andrea Rodriguez and nephew, Jason Peach. She is survived by her children, Rebecca Tomlinson (John Djenka), Melissa (David) Tice, Alicia Tomlinson, and Robert Tomlinson (Felisha Brown); grandchildren, Cody Christian, Chloe Christian, Heaven Tomlinson (Chris Spencer), Jon Tomlinson, Andrea (Tori) Tice, Rachael Tomlinson, Tyghe Tomlinson, Austin Tomlinson, and Ethan Tomlinson; great granddaughter, Addalyn Tomlinson; siblings, Robin Wash, Ricky Waite, Rita Moreno and Sandy Williams; and a plethora of nieces, nephews and friends.
Ruth was a wonderful mother and loving grandmother. Ruth was a dedicated employee with the carnival business, where she worked for over 20 years. She was a determined lady, and at times she was stubborn, however, she gave with all she had and spoke her mind freely. Ruth was a petite lady who packed a mighty big punch.
She will be deeply missed by those closest to her. The family is grateful that she no longer suffers and is thankful for all the support and help given by others during the last few months.
Per Ruth’s request, there will not be a service or memorial.
