Ruth Lynn Albright

Ruth Lynn Albright, a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 9, 2026, surrounded by her loved ones at Spencer Hospital at the age of 74. Born on May 30, 1952, in Sheldon, IA, Ruth lived a full and vibrant life, ultimately making her home in Spencer, IA.

Ruth was a dedicated mother to three sons, Shawn, Matt, and Chad Albright. She took immense pride in her role as a grandmother, delighting in the company of her grandchildren: Shawna, Trent, Jaxon, and Katie. Her family was her world, and she cherished every moment spent with them, especially relishing in special Sundays watching NASCAR races with her special needs grandson.

In 1970, Ruth graduated from Spencer High School where she was recognized as an accomplished athlete. It was there that she met her beloved husband, Scott Albright, and together they built a loving home filled with laughter and warmth. A talented entrepreneur, Ruth proudly owned and operated The Center Café for 15 years, making it a beloved gathering spot for the community in the early 2000s.

Ruth's passions went beyond her career; she was an avid duck collector and an enthusiastic fan of NASCAR, tennis, and the beloved soap opera *General Hospital*. In her free time, she enjoyed playing on her pool league team, fishing, and gardening. Most importantly, Ruth found joy in the shared moments with friends and family, forging connections that would last a lifetime.

She is survived by her three sons, Shawn, Matt, and Chad, along with their families-including her grandchildren, who will miss her deeply. Ruth also leaves behind two brothers Bob and Eric Auberg and one sister Gloria Hollmig, along with their significant others.

Ruth is now at peace, reunited with her father Henry Goodwin Auberg, her mother Eva Lou Auberg, and her brother Russell Auberg.

Ruth will be remembered for her kind heart, strong spirit, and unwavering love for those around her. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
