OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

Ruth Vosko was born to Rose and Joe Yendick in Detroit, Michigan on August 21, 1923. 
She was the oldest of two sisters (Bernice and Eleanor) and three younger brothers 
(Harry, Saul and Albert). She attended Durfee middle school and Central high school 
where she made great grades, sang in glee club and met her husband Irv during study 
hall. They married in Detroit in 1942 and had two sons Alan and Mark. She had an 
inquisitive and vivacious spirit. She fiercely loved the 5 F’s: Food, Fun, Fashion, Family 
and Friends. During her 58 year marriage to Irving, she worked as an executive secre-
tary for Trerice -Tosto and Colliers international. She loved the water, sports, enjoyed 
bowling and even won a golf tournament in her 80s. On her 60th birthday she scuba 
dove the Great Barrier reef in Australia and on her 90th birthday rode a high speed roll-
ercoaster from the front seat of the front car. She even piloted single engine airplanes. 
Ruth was known for her incredible energy and zest for life having been called “the 
Eveready bunny of the Universe”. In fact, the family joke was “what is the difference 
between our Mom and God?” With the answer being “At least on the seventh day, God 
took a rest.” Unafraid to meet and welcome strangers, she made friends easily no mat-
ter what their age or origin. She had an uncanny ability to find common ground. Ruth 
traveled the world over and was truly an ambassador of goodwill and charity. Her love 
of Israel took her there 17 times. The majority of those trips were to work in support 
of the Israeli military and IDF as a volunteer for “Sar-El” (a non-profit, non-political 
organization. “Sar-El” is the Hebrew acronym meaning “Service for Israel”).
A strong believer in “Tsdaka” (giving charity) she actively raised money to feed 
Jewish families through both Yad Ezra locally and Lev Uneshama (Heart and Soul) 
in Tzfat, Israel. She claimed she was terrible in learning new languages yet she spoke 
fluent English and Yiddish. She was an avid fan of the symphony, live theater and 
music. She was passionate about dance and was a true patron of the arts. Much more 
than just a spectator, she participated in crafting, crocheting, knitting, needlepoint 
and stained glass. In her later years, Ruth traded in her famous red convertible for a 
red “pride” scooter, left her lovely condominium in Farmington and moved into the 
Hechtman II apartments. During those last five years she still made tons of friends, 
was loved by many and continued to hobnob with celebrities like Depak Chopra, Mary 
Wilson of the Supremes and Jennifer Lopez. In eulogizing Ruth, Rabbi Elliott Pactor 
of B’nai Moshe summed it up the best when he said “if you were a friend of Ruth 
Vosko, you probably thought that you were her only friend and her best friend in the 
world. That’s how she made you feel”. Ruth was a very “spiritual” person with a deep 
passion and deeper gratitude for life itself. She believed in, collected and surrounded 
herself with angels. She lit Shabbas candles every week, prayed and meditated daily. 
One plaque she proudly displayed in her home says “Friends are angels following you 
through life” now Ruth has become an Angel following us.
She is survived by her two sons Alan Vosko and wife Sue. Mark Vosko and Ignacio 
Romero. Younger brother Albert Yendick and wife Bernice. Grandsons Brian, Martin 
and Tyra Ware. Nieces, nephews and a myriad of friends.

Her Spirit lives on in 
Light, Love and Laughter
