Ruth was a very dear lady. She was our neighbor for the past 2 years. When we moved in she seemed truly happy to have a then 4 year old next door! We will miss her cheery hello.

Aunt Ruth will be sorely missed. Her many visits to California certainly brightened up our lives. She was gracious, witty and always dressed to the nines. God speed, Aunt Ruth.

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Ruth. She was such a wonderful woman. We enjoyed seeing her each and every time she was here. She always had a great story to share with us, whether it was something happening here or one of her many trips to California. She will be sadly missed by us all.
