I just heard of Ruth's death. I'm saddend to learn this. I had Ruth as both my first and seventh grade teacher. She left an impression that I still have. God rest her soul.

To the O'Brien Family:
Ruth taught my four children at St. Brigid's (Paul, David, Nora and Ann) in the 70's. She was a dedicated and excellent teacher - one of the school's best. Whenever I ran into her, we always talked about our kids and love of books among other things. I'll miss our chats.

My deepest sympathies to Ruth's family. I will miss seeing Ruth at St. Brigid's daily Mass and sharing our memories of teaching at St. Brigid's School. She was a strong lady and I admired her very much.
