Obituary: Ruth Marie (Beuerle) Adams

Ruth Marie (Beuerle) Adams (October 29, 1933–December 23, 2025)

Ruth Marie (Beuerle) Adams, age 92, of Manchester, Mich., passed away peacefully at Kresge Rehabilitation Center in Chelsea, Mich., on December 23, 2025.

She was born October 29, 1933, in Chelsea, Mich., to Walter and Clara Beuerle. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Bob Adams, sister, Marilyn Niehaus, brother, Walter Beuerle Jr., and a very special Aunt Lizzie Tirb.

Ruth lived a lot of her life in Michigan, moving to Arizona for several years then returning to Manchester, Mich., where she lived until her death. She had a passion for doing things with her family and friends. She enjoyed doing crafts, ceramics, playing cards, and holiday baking. Baking was a family tradition passed down to her that she shared with many. Ruth’s kindness, creativity, and love for her family will be remembered by all who knew her.

Ruth leaves behind nieces Cindy (Bill) Kemner and Mary (Dan) Wilson; great-nieces and great-nephews Joanne (Ron) Rentfro, Jeffery (Michelle) Kemner, Nathan (Azadeh) Wilson, and Penny Wilson; and many special great-great-nieces and -nephews.

The family would especially like to thank the nurses at the Kresge Rehabilitation Center for providing Ruth with special loving care when she absolutely needed it the most.

A private graveside service will be held next spring at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Freedom Township, Mich.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Dutchmen Firefighters Association.
