Not sure what to say?

We only met a few times, but we were struck with how strong and independent she was. She had a wonderful family, which also says a great deal about her. We hope the family is able to celebrate her life as they miss her! Love to all!

Ruth, was a wonderful Matriarch to the Baxter clan. My brother and sister were very fortunate to have her as a mother-in law. She will be missed very much by her family and her loving husband Lowell. (Gary & Julie Brown, Brooklyn Center, MN)

Jan, I am so sorry about your loss. She was a wonderful person, I saw so much of you in her. I am sorry I missed all of the services, I am behind on my email account. Please get in touch with me when you get the time

Lowell, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Mom and Dad had some great times with you and Ruth on many vacations. Mom, Shirley, still has memories of those fun times. You and Ruth were great friends to my parents.

Sincerely,
Gwen and Chuck Larabee and Shirley Mellor

We are so sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She was a very special person and we are so happy to have known her. Our condolences to your family. Love, Bill and Donna Rae

My sympathy to your family, Ruth was a special lady & I will miss seeing her at Walgreens.
