Ruth Ilene (Conlon) Scott

Ruth Ilene (Conlon) Scott, 81, of West Lafayette, OH, formerly of Richmond, OH, passed away Monday, Sept. 26, 2016 in Lafayette Pointe.

She was born Sept. 18, 1935 in Toronto, OH, daughter of the late Corneilous James and Rosie Marie (Pinkerton) Conlon.

Ruth worked in banking for over 30 years, spending most of her career at Citizen’s Bank in Richmond, OH as a Loan Officer. She was active in the Jr. Women’s Club, Richmond Lionesses, Steubenville Community Choir and Richmond Presbyterian Choir.

She was a member of Colonial Baptist Church of Wintersville and a 1953 graduate of Toronto High School. Ruth was an avid fan of the Steelers, Edison Wildcats, River View Bears and Richmond American Legion Baseball or whatever her children and grandchildren were involved in.

Ruth was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Her family was the most important part of her life. She has never met a stranger and loved her time serving the Richmond community at the bank.

We will miss her laughter, beautiful blue eyes and her constant loving support. She will be missed by her pet companion, Mitzy.

In addition to her parents, Ruth was preceded in death by her husband, Robert S. ‘Bob’ Scott, Sr.; her brothers Junior, Thomas and Robert Conlon; sisters-in-law, Doris Conlon and Betty Scott; brothers-in-law, Donald Smith and James Scott.

Visitation for Ruth will be held on Thursday, September 29 from 4 to 8pm at the J.E. Foster Funeral Home 701 Findley St. in Toronto. Her funeral service will be Friday, September 30 at 11am at the funeral home. Pastor Randy Sells will officiate and her burial will follow in Richmond Union Cemetery.
