We met Ruth through our neighborhood and she became a dear friend. She was a remarkable woman -- always active, positive, and interesting. We enjoyed her stories of life with her beloved late husband Mark and work with the Coast Guard Auxiliary. She was a role model for living a good and long life. We will miss her and wish her Godspeed.

I have known Ruth for several years. She is my dear friend. She is also my hero. She just kept putt putt putting along like the old Franklin car she learn to drive in. I love you and I miss you Ruth
