Erst heute habe ich von Ruth's Weitergehen erfahren. Was für ein Schock! 2017 war kein gutes Jahr! Mein Vater starb Ende März. Jetzt freute ich mich auf ein Wiedersehen in 2021 - 40 Jahre nach unserer ersten Begegnung in Boston... Daraus wird nun nichts. Aber die Erinnerungen bleiben! Ich kann sie gar nicht alle aufzählen. Zunächst faszinierten mich ihre guten Deutschkenntnisse. Ich liebte Ihre ruhige, freundliche und gastfreundliche Art, ihr interessiertes Wesen in so vielen Bereichen (Politik, Kultur ...) etc. So bleibt sie für immer als meine gute Freundin in Amerika in Erinnerung.

Ruth was always a warm and wise soul, from the time I met her as a back-fence neighbor in elementary school in CA before she moved to Aiken, SC. I was lucky to reconnect with her in Boston a decade ago, and I'm so deeply sorry to learn of her sudden and untimely passing. She was so sweet, intelligent, and caring, and she left an indelible impression on all those who knew her personally. She also touched countless other lives through her work as a journalist and writer. I will miss her greatly.

Very sorry to hear this. I knew Ruth at Oberlin through the Christian Science Organization there, although I was in the Conservatory. I always enjoyed her writing, and particularly her etymology column in the Monitor. Wishing comfort to her family.

At AHS Ruth was a self-possessed scholar with a quiet sense of self and unfailing kindness and respect toward us all. I'm glad she remained true to her gifts and shared them generously. I'll miss thinking of her somewhere in Boston. (AHS '72)

My mom, my sister, and I all looked forward to Ruth's Weekly Column, in the Chdristan Science Monitor, "Verbal Energy." She found such joy in words and their origins and communicated this joy in winning way. Grateful when paths cross and hearts speak.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Ruth and I were a part of the same Association that met annually, and we only started to get better acquainted recently. Wishing comfort and happy memories to Ruth's family and friends.

It sounds like Ruth had a wonderful life well lived. I remember her from Aiken High as being a sweet and generous person. I am so sorry for her loss.

My God bless and keep the Walker Family in his arms. It was a pleasure knowing Ruth. I also worked with Mr. Walker at Kimberly Clark Corporation! May you be blessed and comforted in the days to come.
