Ruth C. Dietrich, formerly of Perkasie, PA, passed away Monday, December 15, 2025, at Hidden Meadows on the Ridge, Sellersville, PA.  She was 90.

She was the loving wife of 54 years of the late Harold C. "Whitey" Dietrich, Jr., until his passing on December 15, 2009.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, she was the daughter of the late William and Florence (Fischer) Haldeman.  She was a 1953 graduate of Olney High School, Philadelphia, PA.

Mrs. Dietrich assisted the late District Justice J. Robert Hunsicker as Court Administrator for 15 years before being elected the District Justice for the Upper Bucks Court 07-2-03, a position she held for 20 years until retiring in 2005.

She was a member of St. Stephen's United Church of Christ, Perkasie, PA, where she sang in the Church Choir.

A member of Women of the Moose, Sellersville Chapter No. 471, Mrs. Dietrich loved spending time at her cottage in Perkasie Park and gathering with her Coffee Klatch friends there.  She also enjoyed cross-stitching and crocheting in her free time.  Her greatest joy, however, was found in spending time with her children and grandchildren.
