Obituary for Ruth Konopik
Willa Ruth (Weaver) Konopik, age 101, died November 4, 2014 at Careage of Whidbey, Coupeville. Ruth, as she was known, had been a resident of Whidbey Island since October of 2001.
Ruth was born August 3, 1913 in Buhl, Idaho to Ralph and Clara Weaver, the oldest of five children. She was married to George Edward Konopik in 1931 and became a farmer’s wife, a title she was very proud of. In 1940, Ruth and George left Buhl and settled on a larger farm outside of Beemer, Nebraska, where they farmed until 1978. Retiring, they moved into Beemer. George died in 1998, and eventually, Ruth decided to move to Oak Harbor to be closer to her children.
Ruth was a member of the Order of Eastern Star in Wayne, NE, the United Methodist Church of Beemer, where she was also a Sunday school teacher for many years, a charter member of the Cuming County Historical Society and a member of the Organization of Methodist Women, Beemer, NE. Moving to Oak Harbor, she attended the First United Methodist Church for several years.
Ruth is survived by two sons, George Konopik, Jim Konopik and wife Sarah and one daughter-in-law, Faye Konopik, all of Oak Harbor and by one sister Barbara Jones, one brother John Weaver, by seven grandchildren, four great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. One son, John R. Konopik preceded her in death.
The family of Ruth Konopik is grateful to the staff of Regency, Home Place and Careage of Whidbey for their loving care and understanding during her last years in Oak Harbor.
Memorial services for Ruth Konopik will be held on Friday, November 21, 2014 at 2:00pm at Wallin Funeral Home & Cremation, LLC with Gary Wallin serving as Life Celebrant. Ruth was cremated. Family graveside services will follow in Beemer, NE at a later date, where she will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband George E. Konopik.
