Ruth Ann (Huttenstine) Hanley, 79, of Hobbie passed away on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.
Born in Hobbie on Oct. 22, 1942, she was a daughter of the late Ralph B. and Marian (Engler) Huttenstine. Ruth Ann was born and raised on the family dairy farm.

Following graduation, she worked at Clewell's Dairy in Berwick, then Berwick Industries, and retired from Central Tax Bureau. After retirement, she started driving a school van for children in the Berwick School District. From her childhood to her great-grandma years, Ruth Ann worked endlessly helping at the farm mowing grass, unloading hay and helping with the cattle.
In her spare time, Ruth Ann loved working as a seamstress and cooking for her family. Well-known in her community, Ruth Ann did alterations and made outfits, prom dresses, wedding dresses, and costumes for others, especially for her grandchildren. Ruth Ann was a wonderful cook who insisted on homemade Sunday meals for the family and feeding anyone who came by the farm.
Ruth Ann was an active member of the St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church, Hobbie. She passionately volunteered for events in her church, served on the church council, and was active in her community.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Francis X. Hanley, on March 21, 2021; her daughter, Carolyn Smith; and sister, Marion Huttenstine.

She is also survived by stepdaughters: Alice Hanley and Kate Pitula; stepson, Frank Hanley; grandchildren: Nicole, Shannon, Ryan, Kyle, Kerry, Elisa, Jesse and Tara; and many great-grandchildren.
