Ruth Ann Mrusek

Ruth Ann Mrusek, 83, of Brighton Twp., passed away on December 10, 2025, after a brief illness, at West Penn Hospital.

Born on May 8, 1942, in New Brighton , to the late Joseph Henry “Skip” and Lavina “Viny” Craig. Ruth Ann graduated from Beaver Area High School in 1960. After graduating, she went on to attend and graduate from Western Pennsylvania School of Nursing, and continued on after graduation as a Registered Nurse, to start her career at Rochester Hospital. After working there for a number of years, she started working for United Airlines, as a stewardess, having flown the Los Angelos to Honolulu route. In 1966 she married her beloved husband, Bernie, and decided to become a stay at home for their son, Craig, in 1970. After 10 years of raising her son, she decided to go back to school for a “refresher” course in nursing, and worked for Aliquippa Hospital. Before entering retirement with her husband, she finished her working career in the practice of Carey and Dugan Neurology. Ruth Ann will be remembered by many as a “Parrot Head”, having attended many Jimmy Buffet tailgates and concerts, locally and in Key West, FL, with her husband, family and friends. She enjoyed traveling on Caribbean Cruises with her husband, baking cookies, especially for Christmas, and hosting dinner gatherings for family and friends.

Ruth Ann will be sadly missed by her beloved husband of nearly 60 years, Bernd A. Mrusek; son and daughter-in-law, Craig A. Mrusek and Laura W. Adams; and her grandson, Adam A. Mrusek.
