On March, 15, 2023, Relva Ruth (Ansberry) Nuss passed away peacefully after a brief illness. She was 89 years old. Relva was born in Abilene, Kansas to Isaac Marshall and Esther Lena (Heer) Ansberry. Relva married Dwayne Earl Nuss and settled in Wheaton, Illinois where she worked as a registered nurse taking great care of her patients. She spent her retirement living in Geneva, Illinois.
