Ruth Fuentes Obituary

Passaic native Ruth Fuentes loved traveling and loved people  traits that served her well as American Airlines passenger operations supervisor at Miami International Airport.

"She was a huge people-person, always smiling, always giggling," said her nephew Jonathan Santos. "All of her co-workers, and the passengers she interacted with, felt they were No. 1 in her life."

Ms. Fuentes, 49, was found dead of a gunshot wound on Friday in her home in Coral Gables, Fla.

Colleagues became alarmed when she did not report to work for two days, and police were sent to check on her, said the Miami-Dade Police Department. The death is classified as a homicide, and no arrest has been made.

Ms. Fuentes, formerly Ruth Esquilin, graduated from Passaic High School in 1980. She worked at Clark Air Base in the Philippines while her husband, from whom she was later divorced, was in the military, Santos said.

Ms. Fuentes joined American Airlines in 1986. She spent the first 20 years of her career at Philadelphia International Airport.

Working for the airline allowed Ms. Fuentes to make frequent trips to visit relatives in New Jersey and Puerto Rico, her nephew said.

She is survived by her parents, two brothers, two sisters and many nieces and nephews. Services will be private.

We worked together in PHL for years. I learned a lot from Ruth about how to be not only a good worker, and a good CSM, but also how to treat people. Such a fun, loving, and compassionate person with a truely good soul. I will think of her often and smile thinking about all the many ways she touched everyone. I am honored to call her my friend.

Although I didn't know Ruth personally, the times I did work or commute on a flight she was working she made an impact in my life. She always had a smile and a caring attitude. When you saw Ruth at your gate, you knew the flight was going to get off on a positive start. She will be missed by many. May you find peace and that she isn't with us physically, she will always live on in our hearts, thoughts and memories.

I sit around and wonder,and watch the days go by.I look at all the pictures,
and ask, why did you have to die?
You've always been there for me,because you were my best friend,
and I was always there for you until the very end.But now it's time to let you go, your spirit now is free.
Even though you won't really be gone,
because you'll live inside of me.
So when we have to leave you at your resting place, I will always remember
your smiling, beautiful face. This is hardly a goodbye,so I won't weep anymore, because now you're in better place then you ever were before.
Even though that I will miss you,
and I'll think about you everyday
you'll always be my best friend.
R.I.P my dear friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with Ruthie's family during this very difficult time. I love you all.

Dear Ruth, I still remember you in the breakroom telling how your day was and hearing your random stories, your laughter and seeing your beautiful smile. I can never say I saw you angry or without a smile. Even though I'm sad and filled with anger with what happened, I know you are still smiling down to us. Whenever I cry I remember your smile and the pain goes away because I know you are ok now. I will always miss you and have you alive in my heart. Till we meet again and I get my turn to share my random stories with you so we can laugh together again.

I may not have known you, but i knew your sister and her daughters and just by knowing them, I know you were a great person. I am so sorry for what happened and I know you can't read this but you didn't deserve this. You're in a better place now but God will have his way with the person who did this to you. God bless you and your family as you will now look down upon them from the heavens and protect them.

I will never have the chance to fulfill my last words t...o her, and an emptiness will be in my heart from her death.
We love you, ruth, and we'll miss ...you forever. Rest in peace, my friend.
