    We are sad to announce the passing of Ruth Francis “Ruthie” Stegman-Kellogg of Frankfort, Kentucky. She died at age 52 on Thursday, October 12, 2023.
    Ruthie will be lovingly remembered by her brother, David Stegman. Ruthie will also be fondly remembered by her nephews, Jacob Stegman and Kyle Stegman, her sister-in-law Jammie Stegman, her cousins, Sara and Ricky Shermer, and so many friends. Ruthie was predeceased by her mother, Wendy Stegman, father, Louis Stegman, and her husband, Tony Kellogg.
    For anyone that knew her knew that if she was your friend then you had the most loyal, selfless, amazing person who would be there for you in good times and in bad. She was passionate in everything she did and made the people around her feel like they were the most important person. She lived her life with a little bit of sparkle, sass, sarcasm, and fun.
    Everyone who knew Ruthie understood she never wanted anyone to make a fuss over her. Therefore, it was her wish to not have a memorial service or a celebration event.
    Condolences can be made by sending donations to child abuse crisis centers around the Frankfort, Kentucky region.
    Warren F. Toler Funeral Home of Irvine is in charge of arrangements.
