Ruth Pappas

I'll always remember Ruth making me feel welcome when I attended my sister's wedding to Ruth's brother, Gerry. Her sense of fun was infectious and we shared a bunch of laughs. She got a kick out of listening to the track, 'Alpha' on the weird Vangelis album, 'Albedo 0.39' I had brought on my 'cutting edge tech' Sony Walkman. I didn't get to see much of her in years following, but glimpsed (or heard of) her happy family life on sporadic visits to my sister's family. My condolences to all her...

Our condolences go out to Rick and his family during this immensely difficult time. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

May Ruthie Rest In Peace. I will miss that infectious laugh and huge personality. I will cherish the memories of our beach trip and celebrating her 50th birthday.

This was a lovely tribute about a kind, wonderful lady. She was a devoted mother. She is in my thoughts and will be missed.

I knew Ruthie from the Preschool at St. Francis. She always had a smile on her face and was such a delight to every person she met. I am so sorry that she was sick. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Ruthie will be missed but her smile will love on.

Rick, Benjamin and Collette, Our hearts go out to all of you. Ruthie was a beautiful women full of spunk, grace and the truest sense of service to others. The Cash Family

The day you walked into SCES with Benjamin I immediately knew we would be friends. Your smile and laugh is now being heard in heaven.

Ruth was one of a kind. She was an incredible parent supporter of our staff at Sycamore Creek Elem. I remember on the last day of 5th grade for Benjamin she walked around the entire front office bringing everyone cards and gifts to say thank you! She was so giving and kind. She gave the best birthday parties for the kids in her backyard and I was always amazed by her creativity and ability to make everything FUN!! Ruth took my son Ryan under her wing in many ways ( particularly during my...

Our hearts are breaking. We truly loved Ruthie. Rick, Ruthie and baby Colette (3+ months old) stayed with us in Wake Forest for a little while. What a wonderful time! Every day Ruthie would massage and wax my Arthritic hands. And every day she would make or buy lunch along with a gift included! Rosary, beautiful note cards, lots of laughs and hugs. And the best, aside from great conversations, was a huge bird of paradise flower. The most beautiful flower I have ever seen that looked exactly...
