Ruth Ann Madgwick, 95, passed away on Wednesday, September 30, 2020, in Lexington, KY. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Denise (DeLoche) Madgwick, and nine brothers and sisters. To some of her family members, she was fondly referred to as "Erfie." Ruth was born in McDonald, PA on September 9, 1925, but lived all but the last two years of her life in Pittsburgh. She worked for US Steel for her entire career. Retirement gave her more time to play golf, her favorite pastime. She loved to travel to various golf courses with a group of her golfing friends. Fall and winter found Ruth in front of the television cheering on her beloved Steelers and Penguins. The last two years of her life, she lived at a Lexington, Kentucky senior community, where she quickly made friends and was known to be swift with a smile. Ruth is survived by five nieces and nephews, Margaret (William) King, Joyce (Craig Miller) Wright, John (Kim) Wright, Barbara (Larry) Ledlow, and Judy Haile, and many, many grand and grand, grand nieces and nephews. Other nieces, including Marlene (Robert) Givens, Jeannie Madgwick, and JoAnn (Richard) Benner predeceased Ruth. A graveside service will be held for Ruth on Saturday, October 24 at Robinson's Run Cemetery, 504 Sunset Lane, Pittsburgh, PA at 1:00 PM. Ruth was a voracious reader. If desired, the family suggests contributions in memory of Ruth be sent to the Mt. Lebanon Public Library, 16 Castle Shannon Blvd., Pittsburgh, PA 15228.
