Not sure what to say?

This is my great grandmother, I found out on march 2 that she had sadly passed. I’m glad that she was able to spend the last part of her life in peace. It’s been hard for me and especially my family after mourning two recent losses. And I hope she forever rests in peace.
Sincerely Elliot D.

Ruth was a great pickleball player. Even her paddle was purple!

So so so many memories!!! Buying all the Drissell vans when they were done with them, many many dinners and visits at the Drissell home, many babysitting jobs there. My Mom often talked about helping Ruth with Girl Scouts. I remember many church softball games watching my Dad and Norm. Also many memories staying in their condo on Captiva!!! Our family was touched and connected to the Drissell family in many ways!!! Ruth must have wanted to spend her birthday with Jesus!!! Praying for you all!...

I loved my sister, Ruth, who was 16 months older than me! We grew up together as twins!! We had 5 siblings in our family and I was the youngest of the 5 and now the only one living. Someday we all will be together again!

I would just like to say I am sorry for your loss. I remember Girl Scouts back in the 80s. She was a great woman!

Thank you, Mrs. D., for your warmth and kindness to me as I grew up in Green Trails Methodist. You and Mr. D. made me feel safe and welcomed in your home, any time and ALL the time! I just LOVED being with you all! God bless your beautiful soul. Hug my folks and “Uncle Norm” for me.

David and family,
Marcy shared with me since I am not on face book the loss of your Mother Ruth. I will always remember your large and wonderful neighborhood family.
Our friendship continued both personal and professional for many years.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts.
Best Gloria Shaikun

Many prayers and sympathy to the Drissell family.
