Michael E. Ruddy, 47, of Lake Ariel, died Tuesday morning at home. His wife is the former Mary Jo Scalese.
Born in Scranton, son of the late Thomas F. and Mary Jordan Ruddy, he was employed in the maintenance department of Scranton School District before his illness. He was a member of Our Lady of the Snows Church, Clarks Summit, and the Knights of Columbus. He was a 1981 graduate of Bishop Hannan High School and served with the Army from 1983-1986.
His hobbies included golfing, fishing and shooting pool, but his greatest joy was spending time on his pontoon boat, the "Emerald Lass."
The family would like to especially thank the nursing staff of the Visiting Nurses Association, Hospice and Home Health of Lackawanna County for the compassionate care given to Michael during his illness.
Also surviving are four brothers, Thomas, Washington, N.J.; Sean, Lake Ariel; Kevin, Augusta, Ga.; and Joseph, Philadelphia; nieces and nephews, Erin Shane Jordan, Brandon and Claire Ruddy, Emma and Michael Tremmel, Leah and Vincent Palermo.
Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday at 10 a.m. in Our Lady of the Snows Church, 301 S. State St., Clarks Summit, by Monsignor James McGarry, pastor. Interment will follow at Cathedral Cemetery.
Friends may call Thursday, 4 to 8 p.m., at the Lawrence E. Young Funeral Home, 418 S. State St., Clarks Summit.
