Our beloved Kellie Lynn Ruhe, brought joy, laughter, and love into the lives of everyone she met. A bold and vibrant spirit, she was known for her warm heart, quick wit, and unwavering strength. For decades, she worked tirelessly at Clearview Tavern, where she wasn’t just a waitress and bartender but a cherished friend and the heart of the community where friends looked forward to seeing her.

She had a gift for making people feel welcome, whether through her infectious laughter, the way she effortlessly brightened a room. She embraced life and was found to be very bold at times. 

Among her greatest joys was the close and special bond she shared with her loving soulmate Joe who has been by her side until her crossing and niece, Aimee, and her sister Sis, relationships filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories. She also held a deep love for all her sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews, each of whom she cherished in her own special way.

Kellie Lynn Ruhe will be remembered for the kindness she extended, the strength she carried, her witty personality, big laughs and the happiness she brought to those around her. Though our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort in knowing that her light and love will remain with us always.

She is deeply loved, profoundly missed, and forever in our hearts
