Obituary of Ruth Ann Teller

Please share a memory of Ruth to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Ruth Ann Hannah was born on July 8, 1937, in Tecumseh, Michigan. She was one of many children born to the union of John and Buelah (Garber) Hannah.  She attended Britton Deerfield High School in Britton, Michigan, graduating with the class of 1955. 

Ruth herself was blessed with five children.   She provided for her family working in the cafeteria at Ford Motor Company for twenty-five years, retiring in April of 2000.   She then continued to work for another eight years at Crafts 2000 in Monroe. 

Ruth loved a good game of bingo and knew where there was a game every night of the week.   Her favorite place to visit was the Knights of Columbus Hall in Monroe.   She also loved to stay active, and dancing was her chosen activity.   She didn’t even care what genre of music was being played.   Ruth’s true love in life was spending time with her grandchildren and being called “Granny” by everyone.

Ruth Ann Teller, age 85 of Temperance passed away on Friday; January 27, 2023, at the ProMedica Toledo Hospital in Toledo, Ohio. Her passing was preceded by her parents:  John and Beulah Hannah, a son:  Steven Miles Teller in 2018; and all of her siblings.

To cherish her memory, she leaves behind her two daughters:  Kathryn (Ron) Doran of Pataskala, Ohio and Pamela (Matt) Meiser of Monroe; two sons:  Terry (Amy) Teller of Monroe and Randy (Leann) Teller of Petersburg, Michigan; five grandchildren:  Cody, Justin, Zach and Alex Teller and Kristen Meiser; two great grandchildren:  Kenlee and Aubrey.
