Ruth I. Bowman

Aunt Ruth was always smiling & laughing. We all loved being with her. My favorite was seeing her jitterbug. Her face would light up with so much joy! The first time I saw she and Uncle Lew jitterbug was at Nan's wedding. The last time I saw her jitterbug was at Ashley's wedding. Aunt Ruth and Doug had so much fun out on the dance floor as did Aunt Ruth and Ben. Each of them were smiling & laughing! Of course, there are many, many more fun times, but I thought I would share this...

Carol Heisey knew Ruth as she was a close friend of my deceased mother, Irene Hewitt. My mother was an active member of the American Business Women's Assn from years ago. Ruth was a member and this was how I met her. She was a very lovely lady.

Ruth always helped me talk residents into coming to activities. She would sing her heart out at singalongs and speak about her Saturday night dancing days!

We will miss Ruth´s smiling face. She was always so happy and sweet. She was a former member at CLA Sunday School class, and we visited her at different times at Messiah Village. We will miss her. Dave and Judy Wulf.

Nana was the sweetest, kindest person i have ever met. She will be greatly missed.

Aunt Ruth was so kind and sweet. She always brightened up the space she was in. My sympathy to all the families, and hopefully, we will try to keep the great memories of the joy she gave.
