Not sure what to say?





I never met Ruth, but it sounds like the community and her family lost a fabulous person. Her son Tom is my favorite Brown. Thanks for the memories.

For all of us who knew and loved Ruth,

Light on Earth has dimmed a bit, but the joy in Heaven has increased ten-fold.

May our grief be short and our loving memories me long.

Irv and I had the pleasure of traveling from Seattle to Emmett and visiting Maurice and Ruth last fall. Irv and Maurice dozed in the living room and Riuth and I spent several happy hours looking at family pictures. What a treat that was and I will remember and treasure those hours for a long time to come. What a sweet and lovely person. To her children and husband we want to send comfort for your loss and peace as you remember her goodness.
Love and blessings to all of you.

Sincerely Estell

I have so many fond memories of growing up on Lincoln Avenue. I refer to Brownie and Ruth as "My Other Parents". Floating down the canal and walking back to 4th Street to do it again and we would always stop at Sharon's house for a cookie or whatever Ruth had. I loved going to the church skating parties on New Year's Day with Sharon and her family. I cannot remember seeing Ruth without a smile on her face. My children and grandchildren have been lucky to know Ruth and Brownie. I will miss her terribly.

Ruth is such a fond memory of my childhood. She and Maurice would babysit us occasionally. I remember her letting us sit up on counter and watch the air popper go as she popped popcorn for a snack. Her clip on earrings were a favorite to play "dress up" with my sister's and I when we were at their house- although we always wondered if they didn't hurt her ears! :) Her sweet smile and caring reflected Jesus beautifully.
