Obituary

Ruth Agnes Worlin, 92, of Victoria, Minnesota, and formerly of Saxon, Wisconsin, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2025, surrounded by her family as she went to be with the Lord.

Ruth was born on January 4, 1933, in Buffalo, South Dakota, to Waino and Anna Mary Tilus. She married Armus John Worlin on April 26, 1952, at Calvary Temple Church in Waukegan, Illinois. Together, Ruth and Armus lived and farmed in Libertyville, Illinois, for 40 years. In 1992, they "retired," moving to Saxon, Wisconsin, to continue farming and raising beef cattle. Ruth and Armus were active members of the Ironwood Assembly of God Church, where their faith and community were a cornerstone of their lives.

Ruth is lovingly survived by her three children: John (Sharon) Worlin of Saxon, WI; Marilyn (Rick) Ketcher of Victoria, MN; and James (Janet) Worlin of Somerset, KY. She also leaves behind six grandchildren: Michael Worlin, Anna (Michael) Codena, Matthew Ketcher, Rachel (Joshua) Weikal, Jordan (Tori) Ketcher, and Jessica Worlin; and eleven great-grandchildren: Alarik and Teddy Codena; Heath and Owen Ketcher; Ellaina, Kate, and Eva Weikal; Reagan, Jax, and Ezekiel Ketcher; Elisabeth Nelson. Ruth is also survived by her siblings, Donald (Alice), David (Sharon), Darrell (Nancy) Tilus, and Rhea Tilus Glasson, along with many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Armus Worlin, in 2016; her son, Jeffrey Worlin; her grandson, Timothy Worlin; and her siblings Reino Tilus, Carl Tilus, and Edna Tufte.
