Sister Barbara and I are really sad to lose a friend like Ruth. We met Ruth when we made a trip to New York in the early 80's to visit Ira who had worked with us during a period of '77'78 to work for the release of some 50 Haitians being held in Detention in El Paso. Ira, Ruth, Barb and I went on a picnic to Rockaway Bay and we fell in love with Ruth. She and Ira came to visit us here at the Loretto Motherhouse where we live. I was postmaster during those days. Ruth loved the gardens we were tending and even ate some of the vegetables grown in our garden. I never saw Ruth that she was not smiling, a sure sign of the Presence of God in our lives. marylee/barb We love you, Ira but you know this. Please accept our condolences and keep in touch.

Impossible to believe my 35-year-long conversation with Ruth is over! I was part of her extended family—my mother, Bea Kelvin, is her step-cousin, and, though not related by blood, was close to her from Ruth’s childhood on. Ruth was out of the country in my youth, but from the time she returned in the early ’70s, we talked often and about almost everything, although always returning, in the end, to politics. Her fierce, wide-ranging curiosity made those discussions different from conversations with anyone else, and I’ll miss them. My condolences—and of course my family’s—to Ira and their family.

I'll remember Ruth as someone who made my friend Ira Gollobin's life happy once again for these many years! I am happy about the times we spent, hiking in the Rocky mountains as well as our visits to New York. My condolences to her family on her untimely death as well as my continued friendship to them.
