Ruth C. Stoughton, a resident of Ann's Choice in Warminster, formerly of Dresher PA, quietly passed away Tuesday evening at the age of 85.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, she was the daughter of the late Richard W. and Mabel (nee Wagner) Cronecker. Ruth was preceded in death by her husband W. Spencer Stoughton in 1996 and her daughter Deborah Ann Stoughton in 1980.

Ruth most recently attended Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia and was formerly a member at both Oreland Presbyterian and Jarrettown Methodist Churches. She maintained a lifelong group of friends know as the "Old Faithfuls," all of whom originated from their common attendance as children and young adults at Faith United Church of Christ on Ogontz Avenue in Philadelphia.

Ruth is the devoted mother of Richard S. Stoughton of Upper Gwynedd, Donna S. White and her husband John of Fort Washington, and Steven R. Stoughton and his wife Kristin of Fort Washington. Ruth, known as MeMom, dearly loved her 10 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

Relatives and friends are invited to her Memorial Service at 4:00 PM on Sunday June 9, 2013 at The Chapel at Ann's Choice, 30000 Ann's Choice Way, Warminster. Interment will be held privately at West Laurel Hill Cemetery, Bala-Cynwyd.
