So sorry for your lost. I met Ruth when I first started at P&G in 1980. She always had a wonderful smile and always gave me good advice. She was a joy to be around. I loved that no matter what , she walked everyday at lunch. From watching her and my own Mother , they taught me the importance of good habits and how those good habits can help you through bad times.
My deepest sympathy for your lost

Ruth was a wonderful friend and mentor to me. We met at P&G 50 years ago. She lived her faith and in doing so helped me strengthen my own faith. I have many fond memories of our time at P&G, our many lunches and talks on the phone. I have several of her wonderful recipes. My sincere condolences to her family.

Ruth was a wonderful lady & friend to everyone @Procter & Gamble. I never heard her speak a negative word about anything. I walked with her for many years on our lunch hour and still make many of her recipes. She was a wonderful baker. She even stood up for our wedding in 1990 & we just celebrated our 30th Anniversary. My condolences to her family who she treasured more than anything in life.
