Ruth Ann Flack passed away Sunday, April 9, 2017, at North Suburban Hospital in Thornton, Colorado. Ruth was born in Pecatonica, Illinois and is survived by her daughter Kristine, son Bruce and many loving nieces and nephews.

Ruth attended Nursing school in Rockford, Illinois and made many lifelong friends. Nursing brought her to Denver to work as a registered nurse at Valley View Hospital. In Denver, she met and married the love of her life, Robert Flack. Ruth loved traveling, gardening, daisies, family, animals and was a big Bronco fan and season ticket holder. Ruth was a beautiful, courageous and brave woman who stepped up to help anyone in need.

She always had a smile on her face and is now at peace with her Heavenly Father and with her husband, Robert, who preceded her in death, August 24th, 2015.
