Ruth Oma Wachtel, age 90, passed away peacefully, on March 6, 2017, at Oak Crossing Nursing Home, in Detroit Lakes, MN.

Ruth loved spending time with family and friends, along with the great outdoors, including fishing, snowmobiling & four-wheeling. She enjoyed sewing, cooking, gardening and playing cards.

Visitation will be held one hour prior to the service, at the church. The family prefers that memorials be given to Hospice of the Red River Valley.
