Ruth E. Domrow Lubs, 93, born on February 2, 1928 in Toledo, OH, left her earthly home on December 11, 2021 to take up residence in her heavenly home.

She moved to Michigan City from Blue Island, IL beginning June 6, 1953 as the wife of Conrad Lubs, after a 2-year courtship that began when they both attended Luther League conventions together. Ruth and “Connie” shared 67 years of married life before his passing on December 13, 2020.

Ruth was a graduate of Thornton Junior College, Harvey, IL and had worked at First National Bank in Blue Island prior to marriage. Then she was promoted to full-time wife and mother until her children were out of the home or in college. She retired as a bookkeeper from Carson Pirie Scott in 1989 after 17 years (and she and her family continued to enjoy her discount until they closed the store!).

Ruth continuously involved herself in activities enabling her to assist others. She supported her husband in his career, camping, Boy Scouts, and musical endeavors. and was a Cub Scout Den Mother and Room Mother.  She was active in various activities at St. Paul Lutheran Church, including Women of the Church (WELCA), Quilting Group, Homebound Communion, and Harmony Circle. Ruth and Conrad also delivered Meals on Wheels for 25 years. Her children and grandchildren fondly recall how she always made their favorite dish at our family holiday meals.

Surviving are her three children: Roger (Carol) Lubs of Rockford, MI, Lori (Pastor Dale) Zylstra of Michigan City and Dr. David (Beverly) Lubs of Fort Wayne, IN.  Also surviving are grandchildren: Philip, Benjamin (Shannon), Katye, Daniel, Michael (Beth) and Jenna Lubs, Adam (Tiffany) and Jacob (Daniella) Pakuszewski, Melanie (Christian) Watson, and Nicholas Lubs; and great-grandchildren, Addison, Emerson and Carter.
