Dear Robert, Richard and Rebecca: I am just seeing this obituary now and I wanted to send my condolences. I know it's tough to lose your mom - mine died on the exact same day. My mom, Mary, really liked Ruth (and Ralph) and enjoyed seeing them at the Easter Star functions. Ruth was always friendly and kind to my family. Again... my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all!

Dear Ruth. She was such a constant in the time I knew her. I met her in my PEO chapter, and she invited me later to join Reviewers, which we shared for many years. Notable to me were her positive and cheery attitude, often in the face of obstacles she faced, and her love of birds and cats. I still think of her often and miss her.

Ruth has been one of my all time favorites, whom I have known through PEO and Reviewers for many years. I have always admired her attitude of quietly moving on and simply accomplishing something without fanfare or fuss. She always loved her songbirds and kitties, displaying them in her house or frequently wearing a pin of such. I have grown to really care for Ruth, and I will surely miss her.

Ruth was a wonderful friend and always put others and their needs ahead of her own.
She will be sorely missed; our love goes out to Becky and her family members...

Blessed to have Ruth as a mentor in my early days of Eastern Star. She had high standards and always believed in you. I loved her grace and passion for protocol. Ruth was always there for you. She will be missed by many. I know she played a role in the leader and coach I am today. Thank you Ruth!

I have many childhood memories of Ruth, and Ralph too. They were wonderful next door neighbors to us. I remember Ruth and my Mom visiting across the driveway and working together for years in the PTA. She lived a wonderful life. Best wishes to Robert, Richard, and Becky and your families.

Robert, Richard and Rebecca,

I am sorry for the loss of your mom. She and your dad were always such great neighbors and so kind to me and your family. She lived a wonderful life filled with you and many wonderful things she enjoyed.

When my mom passed, your parents were not at home so when I returned from the hospital with Steve to pick up my car, I stopped by to let your parents know the sad news. They were a firm and great presence in my early life. I hope that you...
