Ruth Elinor Olson Keller

Hello This is Dorothy Swanman Kirk´s daughter Elizabeth. We all send our prayers and condolences to you all. I just found your mother´s obituary and will let my mom know of your mom´s passing. Our mom cousin, Marjorie Swanman knight passed away last month on July 16 th at the age of 96. My mom, Dorothy still lives in her home in Pacific Grove. I remember when Richard visited my parents in his Cadillac.

What a beautiful tribute to such a remarkable, kind, generous, and talented woman! I have such happy memories of time spent with Ruthie and Dick at Smoke Tree Ranch and more recently a lovely lunch with Ruthie at the Town Club. My deepest sympathy to her family!

What a beautiful, colorful and personal story about your mom´s life! She was lovely and so well respected by all who knew her. We are sorry for your loss but hope all the memories she leaves behind will help you through this sad time.

Ruthie imbued those old fashioned qualities we don´t see so much of these days - always gracious, lovely and engaging. And I never saw her without a smile and a twinkle in her eyes. I will miss her.

The staff of Portland'5 Centers for the Arts send their sincere condolences to the Keller family. Her generous support of Keller Auditorium will long be remembered.

Ruthie had a way of making a person feel that she was thrilled to chat with you. I will always remember her many kind smiles shared over many years. A lovely woman.

Such a beautiful tribute to Ruthie
