Ruth S. Flaskamp

I just now saw of her passing, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mother was truly inspiring. I became a scientist bc of her. She taught us incredible things like hypotheses, theories, writing up science reports, and let us touch a real brain and a greater omentum. (They were in large pickle barrels.) She talked ab research that MCO was doing and how women had a vital role in it. She showed us what a strong woman could be in the scientific world.

She read to us books like The Witch...

Richard, sorry to hear of your loss.

My family and I are heartbroken to hear of Ruth's passing. She was truly a beautiful soul. She had such an impact on so many lives. To me, she was a special friend and mentor. She helped me in so many ways. I started my teaching career with Ruth, as her student teacher. She was so supportive and encouraging. My mother and Ruth have been friends for thirty years.

Ruth was an amazing teacher who did wonderful things for her students. My daughter played Juliet in a shortened version of Romeo and Juliet. She got to plan and present her first science project, an event that shaped her entire education. The students were given challenging books to read, interesting projects that mattered, and went on to junior high and high school strongly prepared for their academic futures. Bless you, Ruth, for being a teacher that made a major difference in the lives...

Sincere sympathies from your Whiteacre neighbors, the Poskarbiewicz family, Danny, Sandy, Gary and Sophie.
