Jack and Ruth Rademacher and daughter Kathy lived in Antioch and Byran, Calif., for many years where Jack worked for Dupont. Ruth was a homemaker, and Kathy was a school teacher. The Rademacher Ranch was always open to friends and family, who recall that Ruth's wit and warmth made everyone feel welcome.
Ruth returned to Powell in November of 2001, residing here until her death.
Survivors include two brothers, George McGary and wife Rosemary of Powell and Ivan McGary and wife Vernett of Cody; and many loving nieces and nephews.
Her husband Jack, daughter Kathy, six brothers and four sisters preceded her in death.
Per her wishes, burial will be beside her husband and daughter in Holy Cross Cemetery in Antioch, Calif.
