Ruth Ann Benedict

I feel very fortunate to have met and worked with you over the past several years. Her values, beliefs, and utmost professionalism and dedication to the folks we serve will forever be admired. She was a genuine caring person who extended herself in so many ways to support others. I found her to be a teacher, an inspirer, and a giver. She went out of her way to help support, train and advise me. I will miss our heart to heart talks, but I will never forget the wisdom that she imparted.

My deepest sympathy to Ruth's husband and her family. We are all still stunned and still expecting to see her walk into the Sanford Office. She is sadly missed by all who worked with her and thankful for all she has worked on behalf of. Betsey Hasty.

It is with sadness that we say goodbye to a good friend and trusted colleague. Ruth challenged us to be better in our work, was a staunch advocate and friend to those we serve, and caring friend to her co-workers. My condolances to Tom and Ruth's family for this loss, but rejoice in the memories she has left you, and all of us, with.

This is a message for Tom,
We are praying that God will comfort you at this difficult time. You can not imagine our shock and sadness of hearing of Ruth's passing. We will see you soon,
Cliff and Nancy

Tom -
May the good memories help to soothe your spirit at this time.
