Not sure what to say?

I just saw this today. Auntie Ruth was always so sweet and kind and had a wonderful laugh. We loved going to her and Uncle Don's house for the 4th of July to watch fireworks and for other holidays. She is missed.

Ruth was the best. Friend, sister in-law, hostess, baker, and teacher. Plus so many other things that there is not space enough to list. She was a lifelong learner and always interested in everything. She was so full of compliments for everyone but herself. Glad you are at peace, Ruthie.

Aunt Ruthie was so kind and loving. Beautiful all the way through. I am so thankful to have known her. My love to Uncle Don and all the family.

To Don and Family! I have such Sweet and Fond Memories of my sister-in-law Ruthie from the first day I met her in the 1970´s ! I Loved and respected Ruthie from the day we met! Such a kind and sweet person! Loved visiting and being around her. Rest in Peace Ruthie in you new Heavenly Home until we meet again! Sending my Sincere Love and Sympathy to you Don and your family! Love from, Sister-in-Law Linora Rittenhouse

Ruth was the best sister in-law one could ask for! She was an amazing hostess and her home was always warm and welcoming! She was such a good sport! She put up with all the plans and especially the hunting trips, without complaint! I admired her care and hospitality and love for her friends and her family. It was a privilege and a pleasure to have known her. I am glad she can rest now. Pat Turner
