January 7, 1937 – October 20, 2024
Ruth Moser Rasmussen, of Boise, formerly of Sublett, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2024.
She leaves behind six children: Jay Rasmussen of Twin Falls, Idaho; Keny (Kelly) Rasmussen of Sheridan, Wyoming; Dell (Nanci) Rasmussen of Gillette, Wyoming; Marjorie (Scott) Johnson of Boise, Idaho; Mickey (Glenna) Rasmussen of Kuna, Idaho; and Karl (Riley) Rasmussen of Kuna, Idaho.

Ruth was preceded in death by her parents, Lyman, Esther, and Maren Moser; her siblings, Eva Wallace, Calvin Moser, Nola Johnson, and Ross Moser; her beloved son, Gary Rasmussen; and her granddaughter, Jody Rasmussen.
Ruth found joy in the simple things of life—spending time with her family, reading, gardening, painting, music, and the beauty of nature. She had a heart for service, especially through her work in nursing and cooking. Her selfless acts of care and kindness touched many lives.
Despite enduring significant hardships and physical limitations throughout her life, Ruth’s resilient and positive spirit remained unshaken. Her quiet strength and determination were an inspiration to all who knew her. She had the rare gift of making everyone around her feel seen, valued, and deeply loved—balanced with the firm “Mom look” that kept everyone on their best behavior.
Ruth’s beautiful spirit and radiant love will be missed more than words can express.
