Born on January 31, 1921 in Niagara Falls, NY, she was the daughter of the late William and Eva Kerr Schwenkbeck. Ruth was in the inaugural class of volunteers at Peninsula General Hospital where she served for over twenty-five years, touching many lives. She was our beloved mom, the center and grounding of our lives, always game for family adventures, known for her reassuring and easy smile and wink, her expertise at doing crossword puzzles, and for her great spaghetti sauce. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband, Raymond Herbert Bromhall; a son, Mark Frederick Bromhall; one sister and seven brothers. She is survived by four daughters, Jude Bromhall Brown and her husband Frank of Ocracoke Island, NC, Janis Bromhall Shores (Robert Freeman) of Delmar, MD, Joan Bromhall Kjeldsen of Salisbury, MD and Jeanne Cullen of Ocracoke Island, NC.

Vernon, Maryland. A graveside memorial service will be held at 2:00PM on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 at Wicomico Memorial Park in Salisbury. Pastor Kevin Wackett will officiate.
