Ruthann E. (Overly) Napierkowski, 56, of Arnold, lived her life to the fullest, filled with love and laughter with her family and friends. She faced life's challenges with extraordinary strength and courage. On May 22, 2025, Ruthann’s suffering and pain finally came to an end.
Ruthann was born on June 26, 1968, in Arnold, to Thomas "Wayne" Overly and Marlene (Miller) Overly. She is survived by her two brothers, Roger Tully (Renee Bordelon) of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and David Overly (Michele) of New Kensington; and her two sisters, Denise (Overly) Shields (Jerry) of Watauga, Texas, and Cheryl (Overly) Sadowski (Robert) of Brookville. Ruthann also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Ruthann graduated from Valley High School. She had a special bond with her fur babies, with Jazz and Colton, her Golden Retrievers, being her last surviving pets. Ruthann loved all animals, and she held a special place in her heart for her roommate's fur baby, Micah.
An avid believer in the afterlife, Ruthann was a beloved member of G.O.T.H. Paranormal. Her wit and sense of humor always made any adventure with her exciting and full of laughter. Ruthann was dearly loved by her friends, and while she will be missed, we take comfort knowing we will speak with her again soon.
Ruthann had a big heart and spread love to everyone around her, always ready to help others when needed.
Ruthann's cremains will be taken care of according to her wishes at a later date, time, and location. Please follow her girlfriend, Angel Vaow, on Facebook for further details.
