Ruth Schwichtenberg Nyquist, 104 years of age, left this earthly life on Sunday, April 23, 2023 at Oak Terrace Assisted Living in North Mankato in the presence of her family. 

On April 13, 2023, our mom, friend, mentor, and all around wise acre, consulted with God, and probably a handful of saints she was on a first name basis with, and together made the decision to depart in peace. 
Born on May 17, 1921 to Jack and Tressa (Hamele) O’Leary, she attended country school and eventually Waterville Public School where she declared to her teacher that she pretty much learned everything already. She graduated as salutatorian in 1939 and went on to graduate from Mankato Business College.
