Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to her family. I had the privilege to collaborate with Ruth for a time while she was at OPN. I enjoyed her unique and artful perspective that she poured into the project. It was a better design for it. Rest in peace, Ruth.

Ruth found her way to Landscape Architecture through art; as such, she added value to the profession. Glad we were acquainted. Rest in the garden, Ruth.

During her master of Landscape Architecture education at Iowa state Ruth was a creative and inspiring student. Her thesis on post-industrial landscapes was exemplary.
She will be missed.
ISU professor, Mira Engler

Ruth served on the Artist Selection Panel for Marion's Uptown Artway, and her insightful contributions helped make this ArtPlace America project a success. It was a genuine pleasure getting to know her, and her expertise was very much appreciated!

I’m so sorry for your loss, Carl and family.
