RUTH CHARLEY Obituary

RUTH CHARLEY Ruth Marie Charley, of Las Vegas, passed away Feb. 8, 2014. She was 73 years old. She leaves behind her two children; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ruthie was a very giving person. She was a Den Leader Coach Webelos in Germany, amongst many other activities. The kids always came first. In Nevada, her therapy dogs visited numerous hospital and rest homes bringing comfort to those that were ill. Ruthie loved her dogs and won awards, fly ball, agility and obedience. Ruthie's passing was unexpected from a procedure in the hospital. She had very many good friends and we want to express our gratitude and the love we received from them. Our thanks also goes to Ana who was so caring to Ruthie in her time of need. We miss her beyond words and our thoughts will always be with her. She also is missed by her two border collies, Maegan and Takota. We are honoring her wishes to have a private family-only service to remember her as she was. Thanks to everyone for your love, caring, compassion and condolences.

I worked with Ruth at Dr Chenin's for years. After Il left Vegas in 85 and went back for almost a year in 2001 I was able to get in touch with her by phone and we spoke. Never got to see her again but we were very close co worker friends then. I knew her heart history when we worked together at such a young age for having had open heart surgery. For all her health issues she actually lived a very full life. Sorry to here of her passing. If her adult children see this I remember you both well too as well as your dad. Feel free to reach out, patti 971 334 0005

It has been a month since Ruth had the surgery. I remember how hungry she was after the surgery and how good she looked after it. Only God knows why he decided to take her in that moment but I know she's in a better place now. She was so good to me and Don that there are no words to express my gratitude to her. She was such a nice person with a great , great heart and many other good qualities. I miss her so much and I miss her pineapple up side down cake and Waldorf salad!
I look back and I still can not believe that she's not with us anymore but I know she's resting in peace in a much nicer place.
I love you and I miss you!

As I sit here looking at Ruthie, it is very difficult to imagine I will never talk to her again, no more fun lunches, phone calls, exchanges of food we had prepared too much of. I have several of her momentos. She was very gifted with woodworking and painting. I have several treasures, a doggie paper towel holder, a cross on my bedroom wall with her hand painting vine on it, several lapel pins, a santa, a pumpkin with my name on it, plus others. I shall never forget her as my neighbor and friend of 28 years. I shall miss her when I return to Vegas. God Bless the family. Rest in Peace, Dear One.
