Not sure what to say?

Penny and Susie, I lost my mom in April 2023. I decided to take a little trip this last summer and ended up at the Ritter Farm in July. What a flood of memories! I was not able to enter the residence but was able to walk the grounds and the old barn. It was wonderful!!!! I so appreciate the time I was able to spend there as a young child and miss all the relationships built with you both, the Varley´s, and Mathew Huish. Hope you both are doing well. I would love to see you guys. Shellie...

I also wanted to say that the Rumi Poem is one if my favorites too. I absolutely hope that is where she is. Sending my love StaceyFrancone

Penny and Susie I was thinking about you the other day and came upon your beautiful mom´s obituary. I see your dad has also passed. I remember your parents to be funny and kind. When I picture them they are smiling. My heart goes out to both of you.

What a beautiful woman. She meant so much to me when I was younger. Always so kind to me and always feeling her support. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. But I'm honored to have known her and loved her and been loved by her. Sending Penny and Susie all my love.

I remember Ruth Ann as a fun welcoming person. Loved going over to hang out or help Kim babysit. I remember her laugh it was great and she used it often. Hope you all find peace in the memories. Linda Hawes

This was such sad news to learn today. Such an incredible loss. I remember when Ruth was Guardian of Betel One. I loved her gruff voice and sense of humor. I am so sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the family
I enjoyed knowing Ruth as a class mate at East high school

I had the really great pleasure of working with Ruth Ann at Upland Terrace Elementary. Serving as the school lunch secretary, she made sure all students could buy lunch even it meant that she’d open her desk drawer and pull out some money for them. She kept us chuckling all day long with her quiet comments about everything! RIP Ruth Ann.

I often remember Ruth Ann meditating. I’m sure that helped her to become the kind and caring person that she was. I will never forget my youthful years spent at the Ritter Farm on the Snake River in Idaho. They are some of my most cherished experiences! She will be greatly missed!!! To Penny an Susie, my thoughts and prayers are with you! Shellie Haymond
