Ruth Fowler

YOUNGSTOWN - Ruth Fowler, 71, passed away peacefully late Friday morning, Aug. 21, 2020, at her home following a lengthy illness.

Ruth was born March 14, 1949, in Warren, a daughter of the late Raymond and Evelyn Oriel Miller, and lived much of her life in Trumbull County.

Ruth was a loving mother and homemaker who also worked for more than 15 years as a bartender and manager of Larry’s Bar. While at Larry’s, she became famous for her pickled eggs, which attracted customers from all over. Subsequently, Ruth worked in healthcare at Grand Valley Country Manor in Middlefield, as a private-duty nurse, and in home healthcare before her health forced her to retire.

She was a longtime member of Warren Revival Church, and was a member of the VFW in Farmington.

Ruth leaves a daughter, Melissa Lipinski, with whom she made her home, and Melissa’s children, Anthony Lipinski, Eric Lipinski, Matthew Cox, and Kevin Cox; a daughter, Tina Cardona (Steve Suchy) of Warren, and Tina’s children, Juan (Britney) Cardona, Amber (Frank) D’Andrea, Dakota Cardona, and Jasmine Caraway; a daughter, Shannon Maddox of Youngstown, and Shannon’s children, Christopher May, Miranda (Paul) Wick, Richard Maddox, Heather Maddox, Leonard Maddox, and Tina (Chris) Konka; a son, Patrick (Christine) Bare of Warren, and Patrick and Christine’s children, John, Naamon, Monica, Sierra, and Nevaeh Bare; three sisters, Carol (Joseph) Clay of Weathersfield, Susan Graham of Johnson, and Karen (Thomas) Holbrook of Leavittsburg; and 23 great-grandchildren.
