Chuck,
I just learned of Ruth's passing, I have been working out of town. I am so sorry for your loss. We have not been in contact over the past years, but I know what a lovely gracious lady Ruth was. My thoughts are with you at this time of your loss.

We will miss Ruth but we will never forget the fun times we had at the Dawson Christmas parties over many years. I (ted) regret never accepting your invitation for a sail on one of your boats. Ruth was a fun person to know. Ted and Sue Schmidt

Ruth had a way of making you feel so very special. She encouraged, loved, and imparted great pearls of wisdom to me. I felt like she was my adopted mother. I will miss the talks we had. I loved here much.

That smile is both from the outside and the inside. Her personality was always expressed with a positive and cheerful greetings. I regret that she was not in the main building at Lee for she was truly an inspiration which should be shared. Your description of her life and accomplishments was so well expressed. My sympathy is sent.

What can I say about Ruth o wow what a great lady. She was my homemaking teacher at San Jacimto in 66 and 67 I just loved being with her I stayed many days after school just to be with her.. She was so kind and patient and her smile and laughter were always there. In my later years I renewed our friendship at Midland College art class with Warren Taylor and I was always so glad to see her. I am so glad she was apart Of my life in so many ways and she will be missed by all she touched. ...

Ruth was a great friend. She accompanied the Lee Lady Rebels every time we played in Del Rio. She showed us around Acuna, Mexico. She was an amazing person..even helped me coach one game!

Your mother was an amazing teacher. She gave up her lunch my senior year of high school for me and another student, to make our schedules work. I never realized what a sacrifice that was until I started teaching. I have never forgotten her or her incredible smile.
