Ruth A Chadwick

In loving memory of Ruth Chadwick (nee Starkweather), who departed from this world on February 20, 2026, in her cherished hometown of Depew, NY. Ruth was the beloved wife of the late James Sr., whose spirit she carried with grace throughout her life. As a devoted mother, she nurtured her children, Kathy, James Jr. (Julie), and John (Terri) Chadwick, with unwavering love and support, crafting a legacy of warmth and unity.

Her heart swelled with pride as she embraced her role as a grandmother to Rachael (David) Varga, Renee Budelewski, Jennifer (Shaun) Frank, and Eric (Samantha) Chadwick. To her nine great-grandchildren, she was not just Granny but a beacon of joy and wisdom, sprinkling laughter and love across generations. Ruth's life was a testament to the beauty of family and the ties that bind us together, which she cherished above all.

The family will be present on Tuesday from 5-7 PM at the New Comer Cremations and Funerals where a heartfelt prayer service honoring Ruth's spiritual devotion will follow at 7pm. 

Though she has left this earthly realm, Ruth Chadwick will forever be embraced in the hearts of those who loved her, her memory blooming like the most vibrant garden as we continue to celebrate the love she so freely gave.
