She was born on November 5, 1926 in Fort Atkinson and was the daughter of Albert and Hattie (Klug) Nordness. She married Eugene Hermanson on December 28, 1946 at Spring Prairie Lutheran Church in Keyeser. Ruth was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and enjoyed spending time with her family. She was known for her sense of humor and love of laughter, and a wonderful appreciation for music and of singing. She spent most of her work life with the Wisconsin Porcelain Co. in Sun Prairie. She was a lifelong member of Peace Lutheran Church and sang for many weddings and funerals; as well as being a part of the church choir and Ladies Aid. She faithfully shared her Savior, Jesus, with her family throughout her life.
She is survived by her 4 sons, Roger (Lynn) of New Ulm, Minnesota; James (Julie) of Las Vegas, NV; Gregory (Carol) of Antioch, Illinois; Richard (Lisa) of Verona; 2 daughters, Ann (Jerry) Dorn of Sun Prairie; Kathryn (Tom) Retzlaff of Oconomowoc; 21 grandchildren; 39 great grandchildren; 1 sister, Dolores (Bill) Wright of Madison, and many nieces and nephews.
