Ruthanne Rahm
Ruthanne Kay (nee Hansen) Rahm, 76, passed away peacefully on Aug. 27, 2023, at The Waterford in Colby, where she resided for the past 16 months.
Funeral services for Ruthanne will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 1, 2023, at Life Tributes Funeral Home in Spencer. Family and friends are invited to gather at the funeral home for a time of visitation from 4 p.m. until the time of the service.
Ruthanne was born July 26, 1947, in Spencer, the daughter of Harold and Mildred Hansen. She was a graduate of Spencer High School. She married Richard Rahm on May 5, 1968, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Marshfield and was widowed in 1983. They had one son, Todd Rahm.
Ruthanne enjoyed working in customer service at Karau’s Warehouse and Pick n’ Save. She was employed in the accounting department at the Marshfield Clinic and retired after 20 years. After retirement, she enjoyed being her son’s “right-hand man” as she enjoyed yard work – especially mowing lawn – shooting pool, muscle cars, riding with her son in his semi, dancing, and attending pulls to watch her son pull his mini rod. She especially enjoyed watching her granddaughters grow up.
Those who will cherish her memory include her son, Todd (Doddie) Rahm of Loyal; her granddaughters, McKenna Rahm of Neenah and Morgan Rahm of Eau Claire; her sisters-in-law, Sandy Hansen and Joanne Rahm; and several nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Mildred Hansen; her husband, Richard Rahm; her brothers, Ray, Allen and Donnie Hansen; her sister, Nancey; and a brother-in-law, Emery Rahm.
Todd and Doddie would like to give a special thank you to the staff at The Waterford at Colby where they treated Ruthanne like she was their mom. Also, a special thank you to ProMedica Hospice staff for all they did for her. We are so grateful she had the best care from both The Waterford and ProMedica Hospice.
Ruthanne’s arrangements are under the care of Life Tributes Funeral Home, Spencer. To share a memory or offer condolences, please visit www.lifetributesfuneralhome. com.
