From all of us who worked with Ruthie for many years at Burlington Coat Factory in Matteson and Tinley Park Illinois, we want to say; God bless your family with strength doing this sad time. Ruthie continued spending time with us even after many of us moved on from Burlington. We loved the conversations when we shared lunch or just spent time hunting out those bargains. We enjoyed spending time with Ruthie who had a genuine caring spirit for us all. On behalf of all of us we love you and it has been a pleasure to not only work with you but to know you.

From Debbie Bedford and our Burlington Family

Sending our condolence to all the family. My mother & I had the honor of meeting Ruthie here in Oklahoma. TJ & Faye brought her here to visit. We had so much fun she wanted to come back the next year. She was a very sweet lady. She will be missed.

I have known Ruthie for almost 20 yrs. We used to both work at Burlington and went to the meetings in New Jersey and roomed together. She was a wonderful, warm, loving person who I truly considered to be my friend. I will miss her.
