Love,Peace&Light I Love you Ruthie...

I will remember Ruthie as a wonderfully creative, clever woman who wasn't afraid to really think - use her brain.
Mostly, however, I will remember as a fiercly proud mother who never failed to tell everyone what amazing children she had. She shared their triumphs, stories of them as they progressed into adulthood, and the pride in her words as she spoke of their accomplishments.
My condolences go out to her family - I know she will be deeply missed.

Dear Family of Ruthie, We had the pleasure of serving on the Garden of Eatin' committee with her. She was a special lady. We will keep you all in our prayers. Beth & Ken Johnson
