Ruth A. Guillaume, 74, of Montoursville, passed away Tuesday, May 2, 2017, surrounded by her loving family, after a long illness.
      Born July 16, 1942, in South Williamsport, she was the daughter of the late Harold and Mildred (Peach) Kinney.
     She was a devoted and loving mother, nana, sister, aunt and friend. She was very proud of her children, loved being a "nana" to her grandchildren and was so excited to become a great grandmother to her three great granddaughters. She had a love of baking and cooking, and spent hours preparing for family dinners, picnics and fundraisers. She was a devoted Earnhardt and Washington Redskins Fan.
     Ruth was a volunteer for many years to help support the local community and the American Cancer Society Relay for Life; she loved working with friends to create a world where cancer will no longer threaten our loved ones. She also supported the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
She was a graduate of South Williamsport High School and received a diploma in computer programming from Williamsport Area Community College. Ruth retired from the former Susquehanna Bank as a computer programmer. Her favorite past time at the bank was a little friendly competition of dressing up for Halloween with her friends. She was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.
     She is survived by her children, daughter, Christina Butler (James); son, Leland Guillaume (Robin); daughter, Corinna Guillaume; grandchildren, Leiren Pantages (Dean), Morgan Karr (Evan), Cody Butler, Madison Lloyd, Daniel James Guillaume and Leighann Guillaume; great grandchildren, Lyra, Violet and Elara (whose beautiful and numerous photos can been seen all over her house); a brother, Walter Kinney, of Williamsport; and three sisters, Marion Tedesco, of Williamsport, Gloria Gary, of Huntersville, and Lori Manning, of Mansfield; and many nieces and nephews too numerous to list but not forgotten
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two infant sons; a sister, Shirley Kontz; brothers, Raymond, Donald and Ralph Kinney. 
     A Mass of Christian Burial to honor Ruth's life will be held 1:30 p.m. Friday, May 5, at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church 100 Walnut St., Montoursville. Burial will follow in Green Lawn Memorial Park, Montgomery. A visitation will be held from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Friday prior to Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes.
