Ruthadele Jean Tice Smith
Written by Barbara Ann Tice Parker, her sister

The hardest thing I ever had to face was on March 3, 1974 the early and tragic death of my younger sister and her 19 day old son, Shane. It was 2 o’clock a.m. on a Saturday night; I could still hear that phone ringing in my mind for years after. For awhile I would get out of bed and go all the way down stairs to our living room before I would realize that it wasn’t ringing at all My sister Ruthadele, but we called her Ruthie, had brought her new 19 day old son, Shane Michael, home to Grandma’s (Tom & Ruth Tice) house for the first time and made arrangements to have Shane baptized the next day in the little church in Canoe Camp, where, as kids we went to Sunday School. We all tried to get her to stay all night, but her husband Michael had a card game with some friends that night at their house so they left. I keep telling myself that if I had tried harder to get her to stay Ruthie would still be alive and that part of me that died along with her. That night the phone rang I shook myself awake and hurried down to get it. I was surprised to hear my brother David’s voice; it was soft and low, a little hesitation so full of pain. My mind started spinning why was he calling me this time of night what was wrong. He was telling me something Ruthie and Shane had died in a fire at home. What was he saying, my mind was racing, Ruthie dead. NO! I just saw her just a few hours ago. She was home in bed, it was 2:30 in the morning, and she was home safe in bed this can’t be. Then all I could hear was a scream coming from deep down inside me explodes it brought my husband Phil to my side and he took the phone from my hand. That night while I lay in his arms crying. My mind would race with the image of my sister with her baby in her arms screaming for someone to help her save her baby. The flames coming up around her, someone help her please. In the morning when I awoke I couldn’t believe that after hearing that one’s sister died in a fire one could fall asleep. Your body does strange things to help you survive. As I woke that next morning for just one minute I thought that the night before had been all a bad dream. But as the sleep left me all of it came flooding back. The phone ringing my brother’s voice and the words spoke, oh so softly, Ruthie died tonight, it was true, she was gone. Never again was I to hear her bubbly voice or see her smile. Never to grow old together watching our children grow up to have them go to school, graduate, get married or see our grandchildren grow up. She was part of my life for 22 years, 10 months and 10 days that’s such a very short time to be someone’s whole life. I can see her cooking rice over an open fire at the cabin down back of the barn. A place my brother tom and friends had built, a place we spent most of our summer, a place we loved dearly, or riding King, Tom Crittenden’s horse. We rode then all the time; I can see her now, her hair flying out straight behind her, race me across the field trying to beat me to the other side. She always said King was faster then Rebel, my horse. Riding was something that we both loved to do. We would start out early in the morning and ride until dusk. I remember a beautiful sunny August day in 1973, the day she became Michael Thomas Smith’s wife. She had made her and her brides maid’s dresses. I can still see her sewing at the kitchen table. She was married at my brother David’s home under the beautiful August sun. How does one go on with such a big part of you missing?  Rev. Clickner stopped by that morning. Seven years before he was our minister at our wedding and now he was there telling us that Ruthie had died in her sleep. She and Shane had gone to bed early while Michael and the guys played cared in the kitchen. Worried that they would wake Ruthie and his new born baby boy, they cleaned up the kitchen and moved the game down the street to a friend’s house. Satisfied they did a good job they closed the door not knowing that was the last time they would ever see that clean kitchen or Michael would see he beautiful, loving wife, friend, lover, his whole life and his little baby boy, Shane Michael, who had just started his life. The one that could melt his Daddy’s heart every time he looked at him. He would never again come home to Ruthie busy in their cozy little kitchen with their son close by. Never to see Shane start school or ride a bicycle or throw his first baseball, his family was gone. The fire started in that very same kitchen. The one Michael and the guys had cleaned so very quietly so as not to wake his wife and new born son who was sleeping so peacefully just feet away. The fire department that was only a block away or the hospital where Ruthie worked. After high school she had gone to nursing school in Williamsport and became a nurse at Divine Providence Hospital. The same hospital that her son was born, the same hospital just a couple blocks down the street wouldn’t be close enough to save their lives. Rev. Clickner said they were with the Lord, he had called them home to Him, something I could never except, why would He take someone who was so good that life’s work was to help the sick and suffering or to take a little boy before his life ever started and leave all the people who kill, rob and tortured others her on earth. There is no way that makes any sense.  We buried her with her little boy nestled in her loving arms. Shane was just too small to be all by himself the thought of it tore at your heart, no that couldn’t be. The first time I saw her I thought I would die. The pain was so unbearable. I wanted to die just to stop the pain. But with the love of family and so many good loving friends one makes it through times like this. The service was at the very church that we were to see Shane Michael baptized just days before. So many people were there sharing in our grief. She had touched so many people’s lives with her kindness and love. Riding through town the day we laid her to rest was like waking from a dream, a very dad dream. I looked around as the funeral procession drove through our small town the very town where she had attended school and the small fairs that they had years before. Where we always seemed to be able to talk to our mother into letting us have a baby rabbit to take home to love. Now I look out and see people busy coming and going on with their lives as if nothing bad had happened. I wanted to scream out, stop what you are all doing, my sister, someone that I loved with all my heart is dead. How can you go on with your busy life as it nothing has happened, but that was just it, life goes on. You just have to take one day at a time. It will get easier, as hard as it is to believe, time will come when you will see them in your mind’s eye and the pain will be all but gone. Those loving memories of her life will come floating out and will bring a smile to your face. Time is the great healer!
