Ruth was always out and about! She knew everyone, was alert and friendly whenever we saw her. Ann, you’ve been such a caring daughter. Our thoughts for comfort knowing you face a big void.

Our deepest condolences in the loss of your mother.

I will miss Ruth. I have known her for years! She will be missed
by everyone who knew her!!!

I wish to express my deepest sympathy in your loss of Ruth. I met Ruth and Anne about 10 years ago while she was at Heartland in Whitehall as my mother was also there. She was such a pleasant lady and I very much enjoyed talking with Ruth and Anne. Ruth had a full life and so involved in the White Lake Community.

May you hold dear in your heart your treasured memories.

What a legacy of LOVE for her community of family and friends! ❤ She was a very caring person, funny and full of spirit and energy!!!!

I was saddened to read of Ruth's passing. She was well regarded by all who knew her and I know she will be very much missed by her family, friends and acquaintances. My regards and condolences to her children, Anne, Tami and Scott, her grandchildren and all of her loved ones. She will not be forgotten and has left her mark on the town of Whitehall and it's inhabitants hearts.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
