Obituary of Ruth Auerbach

Ruth Auerbach died Friday July 26, 2019 in Dallas, Pennsylvania. She was 94. Ruth was born in Germany on August 18, 1924. She married Thomas Atchison after the end of World War II and came to live in New York City. After the death of Thomas Atchison, Ruth married Bernard Auerbach who predeceased her. Ruth had lived in Long Island before retiring to live in Rock Hill and then Wurtsboro. Ruth loved to be constantly on the go - shopping, going to lunch, and visiting friends. And wherever she went she was always impeccably dressed – a true "fashionista". Even when Ruth was not out and about, she often kept busy by crocheting blankets with record speed. If you knew Ruth, you probably have a crocheted blanket that she made. Ruth will also be remembered as a person devoted to her cats – and in addition to her own cats, she fed and looked after stray cats wherever she lived.
