Not sure what to say?

One year ago we were all disappointed not to be able to celebrate Mrs. Conley's 100th birthday all together. Covid took a toll on many who never had the illness. Pleasant as it was to take part in the video celebration, most of us looked forward to an in-person meeting. This is a bittersweet remembrance of her birthday with the sad realization of the answer to: 'when shall we meet again?' Happy 101st birthday, Mrs. Conley

We so much enjoyed our years with Ruth. She has been such an inspiration and friend! We enjoyed going to the symphony, impromptu concerts in her condo, playing Scrabble, sharing meals, and stories.. We are grateful to have known Ruth❤.

Ruth was my first friend and neighbor in PVB. We had music to bond us. She was such an inspiration to me for many years!

This has been a year of loss but for me, this one is scarcely imaginable. I may have been 10 when we met, but I cannot conceive of the world without Mrs. Conley in it. Her gifts equaled her generosity and I do not believe I know another person who approached life as full of light as she. She was my first, and I do believe, best voice teacher. The memories span decades and can no more be contained on a page than the beauty of her artistry, passion for learning and teaching, and her deep...

Ruth was generous in every possible way, with her heart, spirit, faith, means, and Life. She always affected me deeply, with honesty, and a Wisdom that could see through any folly. She inspired countless people in her lifetime, and will continue to, as we bless her and hold her in our hearts. Ruth leaves a Legacy of Love to emulate, celebrate, and cherish, for the rest of our lives. Thank you , Ruth

Ruth was a stylish beautiful lady. I will always remember what an asset she and Paul were to our family and the Ponte Vedra community in 1972.
I will miss Ruth and sure she will be running a symphony in heaven. God bless her family.

Dear Conley family,
I am very sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother/grandmother/great-grandmother. She was my piano teacher almost 40 years ago when I was in 6th and 7th grade. She had the patience of Job to put up with me. When my sister was born in 1980, she would come to our house and play piano for her for hours. It was her ministry to my family. She has been a most special friend to the Wainers over the years and we will mourn her loss with you from afar. She was a Godly...
