Margaret Sughrue Ruff

I am thinking of you all. Sincerely, Patricia Hamill

I am blessed to have known Margaret, a beautiful, balanced lady with a cohesive caring family. I can only imagine her love is what inspired her children to be so devoted and caring to her as well. My condolences to all of you. Love Donna Heffernan

My sincere condolences to the family of Margaret Ruff, particularly her daughters Linda and Mary. Linda and I share many happy memories of working together at the New Scotland branch of the Albany Public Library where she shared stories of her large family. And I will be forever grateful to Mary for the caring companionship she gave to my mother.

My heartfelt condolences to the Ruff family. I remember Mrs. Ruff being very kind and generous, even allowing Laura to host my surprise 13th birthday party in their busy home. May God bless and comfort you all, dear Ruffs!

Such a warm and generous woman. Even with her hands full with all of her children there was always room at the table for one more. Best pb&j sandwiches ever. I am grateful for her kindness. The family is in my heart.

Peg was what we once called a real lady. She was lovely, sweet, friendly, interested, interesting, faith filled. She had a great smile, warm eyes and a welcoming demeanor. Peg will be remembered through her large, loving family who carry her loveliness into the world.

My thoughts are with your entire family. I am heartbroken. Such a beautiful woman inside and out she touched many lives, including mine. I know there are no words to ease your pain. However, I hope the love and support of your friends and family help you through this difficult time.

Larry and Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Condolences from the CK Cycles family.

It would be difficult (if not impossible) to grow up in Albany and not know of Margaret & Fred Ruff -and at least one of their 10 amazing kids. Their commitment & contributions to the City are numerous & wide-ranging, and we are blessed by their examples of love & faith. Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved mother - and we pray that the sweet memories you shared together will offer you peace & comfort as you hold her in your hearts always!
