I grew up next door to Ruth and she was a pistol. Never did she not protect her kids and she loved all of them. You will be missed. Tim, John and Evie.

I met Sissi about 8 years ago when we were both researching our Italian family history - we were both so happy to connect with one another! My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Ruth was a great sister-in-law. I have many memories but the main one happened in 1965. I was headed overseas with the Peace Corps. I spent the night with Walt, Ruth and kids. She took one look at my packed suitcase, dumped everything out and repacked it so I even had extra space when she finished. She will be missed but is in her heavenly home.

Sis was a great person. As my Sister-in-Law, I could always count on her. My regret is that I took her for granted and never really told her how much I appreciated her and what a good couple she and Walt made. She was always there for Walt and the kids, and they for sure knew it. I'm certain she and Walt are together again in Heaven and no more pain
