I had her as my probate judge for my Dad and she was really good you will be missed by many RIP Judge Klotz

I had the pleasure on working on the bench with Judge Klotz for over twenty years. She was a well regarded expert on probate and treated all trust funds as if they were her own, safeguarding the assets of those she was protecting. Judge Klotz was a mentor for the women judges who followed. In addition Judge Klotz gave many hours to service at Plymouth Church. Well done, good and faithful servant.

She was the most powerful, yet the most helpful and kind, district judge I ever had the pleasure of working with and I have missed her since she retired.

She lived a full life and was an inspiration to many of us

A beautiful heart, wonderful woman, and brilliant legal mind.

Oh Ruth what a women you were. It was a pleasure to know you for as long as I did. Dont have lots of memories but the ones I do have of you you were a woman of grace love and a hard worker who loved what she did
I was so lucky to be there for your last days on this Earth we would say the pray The Our Father and she wouldn't miss a word She would tell me I See the Light and I would tell her its Jesus telling you to come home and be with me but she said I will in my own time I still need...

Ruth Klotz was a wonderful person, I was honored to have known her.
