Ruth Singer Obituary

1929-2022 Passed away after a long, art-filled, life. She was surrounded by family, friends & caregivers who loved her. She'll be remembered as a tough, smart, funny, beautiful bird who made a good brisket, had a green thumb, and liked her gin on the rocks with olives. She follows her partner in crime, the notoriously friendly, Sanford 'Sandy' Singer.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

We remember Ruth and Sandy as our very good neighbors when we moved into Conner Place. I am going to get a "Ruth" plant!

Hi, The family will be remembering Ruth with each other. In lieu of any larger public gathering, and in honor of Ruth's famous green thumb, & if you feel like it, get a plant, make it grow & name it Ruth ;)
