Ruth Dorothea Bayerle's Obituary
Ruth Dorothea Bayerle, “Omie” to her grandchildren or “Tante” to her nieces and nephew, (née Beermunder) died March 25, 2015, suddenly at her home of 40 years, in Murray Hill, Manhattan, New York, at the age of 83.
Ruth is survived by her son Martin Bayerle and grandchildren Tess and Grant Bayerle of Miami Beach, Florida, her brother Karl and her niece Rondinna Beermunder of Weeki Wachee, Florida, her niece Marlene Beermunder Welch of East Lyme, Connecticut, and nephew Carl Beermunder of Kingston, New York.
Ruth was born on December 29, 1931 in Behringersdorf, a suburb of Nuremberg, Germany to Max and Anna Schiessl Beermunder. After moving to New York, Ruth married Gerard Bayerle, a US Army Officer, in 1950. Ruth devoted herself to her family and inspired in them a love of life, other people, animals, all of life, and adventure, and encouraged all to pursue their dreams.
Ruth was an accomplished singer and would perform both professionally, and always upon not-infrequent requests from family and friends; she had a beautiful voice, which will greatly be missed. She was a generous, kind hearted individual who loved life, her family and pets and who was passionate about the importance of pets in our lives, blessings from God who teach us about unconditional love, companionship, and loss.
A funeral is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at the Church By The Sea, 501 96th St, Bal Harbour, FL: viewing 10 am to noon; prayers and tributes noon to 1 pm. Mausoleum interment will be at 2 pm, Woodlawn Cemetery North, Miami, FL. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Ruth’s life. A reception for family and friends will follow at 5 pm, The Bistro, Ritz Carlton, Bal Harbour, FL. Please RSVP for the reception, [email protected]. In lieu of flowers, please save a life. Ruth would be so pleased to know that, even after her death, she was still helping to save animals; so please adopt a pet from a local animal shelter or give to the animal shelter of your choosing.
