Philomena Ruscheinsky, age 94 of Carson, was welcomed into the arms of her Heavenly Father on Monday, August 29, 2016. She passed away at the Elm Crest Manor in New Salem.

Phil was born at home in Raleigh, ND on April 25, 1922 to Max and Eva (Winter) Miller. She attended country school south of St. Gertrude's until she was united to the love of her life, Max Ruscheinsky, on March 26, 1940. Together Max and Phil farmed, ranched and raised seven children. In 1976, they retired and moved into Carson. In 2006, Phil moved to the Carson 4-Plex.
