Ruth Jane Schumacher

Ruth, You may have thought you had no family nearby but the steady traffic flow to and from your bedside over the last few days said otherwise. You were tough on all of us and we are all better for it. And we all love you for it. You were blessed with the unrelenting loving care of Tish to the very end. It was only a few days ago you looked me in the eye and told me you refused to be 98 when you die. Congratulations, you had six days to spare but you made it. You will be loved and...

Ruth you will be missed by so many, even though you may not have agreed- you had more friends and people that cared about you than you realized. Your girl scouts, your card playing friends, your beloved Cozumel and Yuengling pals, your many friends at Chippewa Place; especially the salon & your care-aide Tish, neighbors of all kind, your seldom favored AAA car repair gentleman, your everlasting bird buddies, and your few and far between uniformed favorites (I can see that eye roll now haha)...
