Hilda Ruehr's Obituary
Time does not heal all wounds it only teaches us to live with the incomprehensible
Rainer Maria Rilke – Austrian Poet
Hilda Ruehr was born on September 5, 1923, to the late Franz and Maria Leblhuber in Sipbachzell, Austria and ended her life journey after 98 years in Alexandria, Virginia on April 29, 2022.
