Essie Ruth Braman

I have many fond memories of Ruth. She was a special lady and a wonderful person. We lived near her in Beech, IA. I remember going to visit her and Bette and always playing cards and games and taking care of the dogs. She had a wonderful laugh! She was always very affectionate and giving (lots of kisses). She loved her family and friends! We will miss her!

Ruth Will Always Be In Our Thoughts & Forever In Our Hearts.
She was a Very Special Lady always kind, generous, understanding, sweet - with the biggest heart ! Oh, and she loved laughter laughing so hard that she would cry and then that would make us all laugh even harder ! She was and is a beautiful person inside and out.
Many times my family enjoyed playing games and cards with Ruth while she lived in Beech. She loved her family, friends, dogs, pets, animals with all she could...

So sorry for your loss. She was a great lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a wonderful lady Ruth was! Always a smile. My thoughts & prayers are with your family.

My deepest sympathy to Ruth's family. Ruth was such a wonderful Lady. Always there to help people in need and she would give the shirt off her back. She was such a "happy go lucky" person with the biggest heart. I will always remember our card games... (years ago) and how much she loved people, animals...especially dogs! I remember how much she loved laughter...with tears running down her face. She was a great friend to the Hardman Family. She will be missed by all. My prayers and...

I will always remember Ruth would laugh so hard tears would roll down her face. A super lady to have known. She loved the dogs.
