Ruth S. Floridis

March 28, 1931 - August 8, 2020


Ruth S. Floridis (Eschbaugh), age 89, residing in Hemet, CA, entered Heaven’s gates on August 8, 2020.  She was born to the late Harry Irvin Schenck Jr. and Ruth Marie (McGreevy) Schenck on March 28, 1931, in Dayton, OH, where she resided for most of her life.  
          Ruth was a loving mother and homemaker and loved cooking for her family.  She also loved decorating her home, always making it a comfortable and inviting place for others.  Ruth was a truly kind and generous person, always wanting to give to others.  She loved conversing with people and enjoyed talking for hours, recalling special memories of her childhood and past experiences.  She was an avid animal lover and was devoted to her pets over the years, including Pepi, Tashi, and Hannah.  Ruth loved to travel with her second husband, Ron, and adored visiting different beaches.  Ruth had a great love for her granddaughters.  They were the light of her life.  She loved sharing stories with them and spoiled them rotten, as most grandmothers love to do.
          Ruth is survived by her son Brian Eschbaugh and his wife Christina, and her daughter Julie Barnhart and her husband Paul.  She is also survived by her two granddaughters Alexandra Barnhart and Rachel Barnhart and others to include nieces, a nephew, and cousins.
          Ruth was preceded in death by her first husband Emerson Eschbaugh Jr., her parents, and stepfather Wilfred Hopfengardner. 
          An intimate family celebration of her life will be planned later due to the current restrictions. 
          The family wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to all of those at Yorkshire Village, who always lovingly cared for Ruth and were with her during her last hours.  Also, to those with Living Waters Hospice who helped care for her in her final days.  Thank you to all who prayed, supported, and showed expressions of love during this time.
          I love you immensely Mom!  You will be greatly missed!!  Until we are together again in Heaven….
