Ruth D Nachtwey Obituary
We are sad to announce that on April 30, 2026, at the age of 101, Ruth D Nachtwey (Portland, Oregon) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Ruth farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Ruth is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She is survived by: her husband Lloyd Nachtwey; her children, Gretchen Rodgers, Jon Nachtwey and Timothy Nachtwey; and her grandson Nicholas Rodgers.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 18th 2026 at 1:00 PM at the Immanuel Lutheran Church (7810 SE 15th Ave, Portland, OR 97202).
