RuthAnn Neuhart Konderla, of McKinney, Texas, passed away November 24, 2012 at the age of 68. She was born September 20, 1944, in Phillips, Texas, to Frederick C. and Elizabeth Ruth (Taylor) Neuhart.
RuthAnn was known for her beautiful smile and warm heart. She grew up in Chatham, New Jersey with her parents and 5 siblings. She was a lover of life and laughter. She also had a great passion for dancing and music. While venturing out bravely into the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, RuthAnn proved to the world that nothing and no one could stop her from achieving her highest potential. She became an amazingly successful sales professional, despite being the very first woman employed in the then, male dominated Wall Street market. If asked what she felt was her greatest accomplishment in her life, she would undoubtedly say it was being a mother. While blessed with one biological daughter, Hope, the Lord saw fit to abundantly bless her with a daughter through marriage, Angela. Nothing meant more to her than her girls and she was both our biggest cheerleader and greatest defender.
RuthAnn will be dearly missed by her family, friends and especially all the individuals she ministered to through her Godly example of love and healing.
She is survived by her daughters, Hope Elizabeth Steiner of Plano, Texas, Angela Marie Crim and husband Troy of McKinney, Texas; grandchildren, Emma Faith and Jada Grace Crim; brothers, Charles Henry Neuhart of Woodsfield, Ohio, J. Michael Neuhart and wife Barbara of Far Hills, New Jersey; sister, Anita Neuhart McCoy and husband Don of Rockwall, Texas. She is also survived by, Joseph Steven Konderla and numerous other loving family members and dear friends.
RuthAnn is preceded in death by her parents, Frederick and Elizabeth Neuhart; brother, Frederick C. Neuhart, III; and sister, Audrey Letitia Weiner.
A memorial service will be held at 4:00 p.m., on Friday, November 30, 2012, at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home, in Allen, Texas.
