Ruth Ann “Ruthie” Vrable of Little Lake, Michigan unexpectedly passed away at the University of Michigan Medical Center on Saturday, April 20th, 2024, at the age of 73. Ruth was born in Owosso on July 20th, 1950, and came home to Steve and Margaret Vrable’s family farm in Chesaning, Michigan. We all know that growing up on a farm is filled with work and chores as well as providing a vast playground of childhood fun and memory making.Ruthie attended the local one room Frink school as a young child. Ruth graduated as Valedictorian from Chesaning High School in 1968 and went on to Michigan State University to earn a degree in Microbiology. Her career connected her to several doctors within MSU’s Animal Science labs and she held the position as Lead LabTech for 31 years.Ruth’s lifelong passion and love of gardens and animals grew from her parents teachings on the farm. Her perennial and annual gardens at all her homes drew admiration, and her vegetable gardens could have been award winning. Besides being an avid gardener, Ruth exhibited culinary skills in the kitchen and mastered the family recipes which we all enjoyed!On March 23,1997, Ruth married the “Love of her Life”, Dennis Pratt. They were a hands-on power couple, redoing a home in Williamston, MI, building a log cabin on a lake in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, as well as building a winter home in Arizona. Ruth and Denny hosted family and friends often and were the ultimate guides to fun and games.Some of their greatest adventures during retirement were when Ruth and Denny traveled with RV friends through the western US and Canadian national parks.
