Ruth Ellen Lay

I just learned that Ruth had passed away. She was a good friend of mine from second grade until we graduated from Granite high school in 1971. I lost track of her after high school, but I will always remember her kindness and her intelligence. My sympathy goes out to her husband, children and extended family.

I was so saddened to hear of Ruth[s passing. We were getting a Jobie Bethel 7 reunion together. I was trying to locate her. That is when I came upon her obituary. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. She was a gentle, fun, and talented soul who gave much to life. I will make sure to pass this info on to those attending the reunion. Love, Marianne Ogaard

Star Love,

My heart is so heavy and sad in the loss of Ruth. I will miss her wit and humor, adventurous spirit and her wonderful music! John and family....My sincere sympathy in your loss of Ruth. She will be truly missed by many, many people who loved and admired her. I feel blessed to have known her. My thoughts and Prayers are with all of you.

John, I just can't believe this. I am so sorry for your loss. She is gone way too soon. It is because of Ruth and yourself and OES that I have now finished school. She was always there to encourage me to keep going. I will remember her always.
