Ruth M. Louck, age 81, of Morley/Reed City, passed peacefully into eternal life in the early morning of Thursday, February 20, 2020, with family by her side. Ruth was born June 13, 1938, in Hersey, the daughter of the late Byron and Edith (Zanders) Bowers. Ruth married Glen Louck on October 28, 1955, and together they raised their family starting in Howard City, later moving to Morley where they remained until Glen's passing in 1999 and Ruth's move in 2012 to Spectrum Health RNC in Reed City.Ruth truly loved life despite numerous health issues throughout the years. She treasured her family and enjoyed many things such as being a Cub Scout den mother, camping, snowmobiling, simple country-side rides, scrapbooking, making jewelry, and socializing, and she was meticulous at hand sewing and cross-stitch. Ruth also had a passion for shopping and fashion. She had a big heart and it showed through her "love language" which was gifts, both receiving and especially giving. Ruth is survived by her two daughters: Linda (Richard) Hodges of White Cloud and Shirley (Tom) Gustin of Prescott Valley, Arizona; daughter-in-law Tammy Louck of Morley; seven grandchildren: Dawn (Scott) Copenhaver, David (Amber) Hodges, Danny (Krystal) Hodges, Jessica (Giovanni) Riggs-Varela, James Gustin, Glen Lee (Amber) Louck and Joe (Jen) Louck; 14 great-grandchildren: Brandon and Andrew Smith; Emily, Lindsey, and "Little David" Hodges; Ava and Haven Hodges; Dylan Riggs and Arianna Varela; Mikayla and Bryson Louck; Hunter, Tyson, and Luke Louck; two sisters-in-law: Marilyn Louck of Belmont and Marge Louck of Santa Fe, New Mexico; and many nieces and nephews.She was preceded in death by her husband Glen in 1999; son Glen on January 17, 2020; her parents and seven siblings: Freda, Harold, Howard, Helen, Ivan, Viola and an infant brother, "Bubby."Funeral services will take place 1:00 p.m., Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at the Daggett-Gilbert Funeral Home in Big Rapids with Chaplain Daniel Pflug officiating.
