Ruth Papineau Williams

I have many fond memories of the times Ruth and I had through the years. I loved her dearly.

Great lady whose passing makes the world a lot less cheery. What a devastating loss not just for Phil and her family but too the world. Gone too soon. Thoughts and prayers to her survivors.

Frank and I are so happy that we met with Ruth and Phil while visiting our daughter Jo in Portland, enjoying happy visits in their garden.
Ruth had an amazing life, an inspiring, lovely lady.

I met Ruth and Phil at the Buddhist temple in Portland..since then we have a great friendship.I have learned so many cultural,political and historical things by listening her stories of the time she shared.She was very polite ,kind and a educated lady. I missed her very much.

I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Ruth passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I will always cherish my good memories of my Aunt Ruth.

Ruth was a dear friend of mine for many years. We taught together at Kelly School. She was a member of a little dinner group that was started when we all taught at Llewellen Elementary School. Wherever she is now, she is having a wild time!

Thank you for your good humor and humility, for devilish laughter, great food, your love of good books and many hours of meaningful conversation and inspiration. Thank you for choosing to demonstrate that a life of fullness and meaning is one lived by example. Your physical presence will be...
