Ruth's family would like to thank the compassionate and hardworking nurses and aids at EverHeart Hospice and Wayne Hospital for the comfort they provided in her final weeks. The family is especially grateful for Dr. Beth Vehre and the exceptional care she gave to Ruth over the years, and the support she provided to Ruth's family, and for the help of close friends, Sara Vanatta, Rena Slater, and Ann Vehre.

I have just learned of Ruth's passing after speaking to Lowell Studebaker. Ruth was my friend and my Boss at Ohio Bureau of Employment Services for a number of years. I sincerely condole with her entire family. To her children I say; "The roads of life are very rough, there are detours that mar your way. But always remember there is a upon which to rest and pray, keep your life as a breeze, let your faith rule well and the goals you reach in life only God can tell. Truly you were blessed with a wonderful mother. Blessings to all of you.
