Ruth Lindsay

Ruth Lindsay WOODLAND VALLEY- Ruth Lindsay, a long time area resident died Sunday, Feb. 19, 2012 at the Kingston Hospital after a brief illness. She was born Dec. 8, 1924 in Keansburg, N.J. daughter of the late Ralph and Bessie Williams. She's a graduate of the Jersey city Hospital School of Nursing, and had been a registered nurse at the Jersey City Medical Center. Ruth had been summering in the Catskill's as a child in a home her grandfather built in 1906, before becoming a full time resident four decades ago. She held various jobs which included: the Scandinavian Ski Shoppe in Mt. Tremper in the early '70's, a rural Daily Freeman delivery route, and a clerk at the Boiceville Wine & Liquors. She was a unique and caring individual who served as grandmother to many Woodland Valley children. She valued her independence, and loved animals, especially pugs. She had a green thumb evidenced by her flower gardens, enjoyed cooking and baking and made an unforgettable strawberry-rhubarb pie. Ruth was an avid reader, and a good friend to her neighbors. Family and friends will honor and remember Ruth's life by gathering at a later time. Memorial contributions may be made to the M.F. Whitney Hose Fire Co. or the Phoenicia Library.
