Ruth Siegle

Ruth Siegle (Rubin), of Nashua, NH, formerly of West Newton, and West Peabody, MA, passed peacefully surrounded by family on May 24, 2023. Beloved wife of 55 years of the late Arnold Siegle. Devoted mother of Wendee Glick Curley and her husband Jim, Carol Muldoon and her late husband Ricky, and the late Vicki Siegle. Cherished grandmother of Scott Glick and his wife Mindy, Nicole Letourneau and her husband Tyler, and Hayden Muldoon and his fiancé Meghan Johnson. Proud great-grandmother of Maci and Cole Letourneau. Daughter of the late Etta and Jacob Rubin, Loving sister of the late Evelyn Chalfin and her late husband Alexander.

In her earlier years, Ruth and her husband Arnold were worldly travelers. Ruth appreciated music and the arts. She had a passion for collecting artwork from the local artisans in many countries throughout their travels. Family and friends fondly remember her passion for singing songs from The Great American Songbook and her days of Adagio dancing. She was a lifelong learner with a pivotal work ethic as a young woman. From a young age she worked for her parent’s family kosher catering company and later educating herself on the emerging technology of word processing and held a corporate training position for Stop and Shop companies.

When Ruth was not doting on her family during visits, she was filling in anyone who would listen on their latest accomplishments and her fond admiration. You could always rely on her as a warmhearted conversationalist, and it was predictable she would tell you a few of her best jokes. She was the queen of the bingo table, and as a naturally born fashionista it was expected if she was stepping out for a game, you would find her dressed to impress with jewels to match. It is easy to understand why her favorite television show was “The Bold and The Beautiful”, because she was simply that, exceptionally bold and extremely beautiful, and encouraged those around her to live the same way.

Funeral services will be held at the Allen Center, 35 Webster Street, Newton, MA on Sunday, May 28, 2023 promptly at 12:30pm. The family requests that in true Ruth fashion, and in appreciation for her sense of style and love of all things “bling” that those in attendance dress in lively colors to celebrate the beauty of her life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Community Hospice House in Merrimack NH.
