Not sure what to say?

I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Ruth for a Unity article back in 2008. From that day forward, she has held a special place in my heart. I always looked forward to a smile and a hug whenever I saw her!

Ruth was such a caring, loyal, determined employee at our store for over 37 years.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. She diligently led her Friday Lunch Bunch . Always made sure everyone was doing ok.

Heaven has a newly minted angel with a big heart and golden wings. I'm sure our Lord said Rest well good and faithful servant.

Ruth will be missed very much.
