Gendhar, Ruby F. Ruby F. Gendhar, age 79, of Kalamazoo, MI passed away on 10/11/2022. She was born in Kentucky, the youngest child of Lloyd Vaughn and Mary Francis Bruce. Ruby completed high school in Kalamazoo, and married Tony Gendhar in 1961. She and Tony were married for 43 years before his passing in 2004. Ruby was employed by the Diocese of Kalamazoo for many years prior to her retirement. In her younger years, she was an avid gardener, bowler, and guitar player. In her later life, she resumed team bowling, enjoyed activities through the community center, and continued vegetable and flower gardening. She took up the ukulele in her early 70's, and enjoyed a good crossword puzzle as well as a challenging sudoku puzzle. She enjoyed meeting friends for lunch and often provided transportation to friends who could no longer drive and checked in on those who were ill. She delighted in her eldest grandchild, Brina Gendhar, who helped care for her during the months prior to her passing, along with other family members, as well as visits from her grandson, Brandon Gendhar, and great granddaughter, Mya. Ruby is survived by her daughters, Elizabeth (Sean) O'Leary, Diana Litaker, Mary Stager, and Lisa Gendhar, 5 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, her 9 siblings, and her grandson, Kryn Wilson. Cremation will take place at the Oak Hill Crematory in Battle Creek, MI. A Celebration of Life and a Graveside Service will be held at a later date. Arrangements by the Bachman Hebble Funeral Service, a member by invitation Selected Independent Funeral Homes.
