Ruthanne M. Blotzer Age 53, of Plum Boro, it is with deep sadness that we announce that the world has lost a truly wonderful lady. Ruthanne M. Blotzer, passed away unexpectedly at home the morning of Tuesday, December 20, 2016. Ruthanne touched so many lives in her too brief life, and I’m sure most would agree she was a special lady. She could and would talk with anyone, and make that person’s day brighter. An adoring mother of her children Cory David and Karli Dawn, as well as stepson Justin Olbeter. Ruthanne dedicated her entire life to unconditional love of her children and her husband of 29 years, Wayne “Dave” Blotzer. An endearing personality, she cared about and would help anyone in any situation. The last eleven years have been very trying for her, having been thru eighteen surgeries and countless medical setbacks, but she always bounced back. She was the office manager at Northern Pike Veterinary Hospital in Monroeville, until she was forced into disability. She also was a financial representative for Prudential Insurance Company. Ruthie is survived by her husband David Blotzer; her loving children, Justin (Mandi), Cory and Karli; her mother in-law Marian K. Blotzer; father in-law Wayne E. Blotzer; step-mother, Jane Jancisin; sister in-law Deborah Hedeen; nieces Heather and Shannon; nephew, Brett Hedeen; as well as several cousins, friends and co-workers. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Dawn Jancisin. Ruthanne was a graduate of Norwin High School and the Indiana University of PA.
