Ruth Marie Nelson

I will always remember Ruth as a very dear friend who became my "second mother" when my mother was not around and especially following my mother's death. My last visit with Ruth in Scottsdale last March was enjoyed by us both in our shopping (her people watching from her wheel chair and me doing the shopping), lunch in a quaint little resturant she and Jan had always enjoyed, and a lesiurely drive to and from this little town north of Phoenix. I thank God for this one last visit with this...

I missed Ruth, once she moved out of our neighborhood. I would run into her and her sister quite frequently at the grocery store and the dugstore. They were always smiling and laughing. She was such a sweet lady that will be missed by many! Barb Nolan (Ken's sister-in-law)

We really missed Ruth after she moved but she was always in our hearts and on our minds. We had such fun drinking wine in our neighborhood circle or sharing a joke that she said "I can't tell my kids that!" We will never forget her .

Ruth was such a wonderful lady! She ALWAYS had a smile on her beautiful face. She loved her family and extended family. She's always had a special place in my heart. WOW! She cooked the BEST crescent rolls! One of the most giving people I've ever known...we love you Ruth & Family.

Heaven is in for a joyful treat!!!!I have so many wonderful and happy memories of you and Wayne in New Jersey--and your swimming adventure. Then even more experiences in Kansas--and your wonderful cooking and generous recipe sharing!! God bless your family. Thank you for all the joy you shared with us. Much love, Christine Accas

To all of you, family and friends, my heart is feeling pain and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Ruth was such a wonderful woman and her presence was always enjoyed. She touched more lives than you all know. I will be thinking of you in the days ahead. -pucka. (Ken's sister in law)
