Ruth was not only an Aunt to me; she was a friend. We talked on the phone often, and she was always there for me when I was growing up. Ruth loved my three sons, was impressed with their upbringing, and always remembered their birthdays, Bar Mitzvahs and Graduations. She came to every party and special occasion that we had and loved being around her family. Ruth was one of the sweetest, most giving people I have ever met. Everyone who knew this wonderful woman loved her caring, easygoing personality. She was adored at the hospital, and continued to love kids even after she retired. The family has lost a wonderful person, and through pictures and videos that we all have of her, we can keep her alive in our hearts. Rest in peace beautiful Aunt Ruth.
