Ruth was the last of the "Matriarchs" of a group of close family and friends that were a great part of my life. Ruth and Norman were at every major family event at my grandparents home on Remington St and most other Studley events. As a child I remember their card nights...their dancing lessons in the basement and tales of their cruises and vacations together. My condolences to all of the family. She is reunited with Norman and all the others. I am sure they are all celebrating Ruth's arrival together.

To all the Beardworths, Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. Your mom, or "Mom B" as I used to call her was a wonderful lady and it was an honor to know and spend time with her. The handful of conversations that I had with her over the years were full of laughter! She is now with her boys where she can keep an eye on all of you...

Love and all the Lords Blessings.
Mary Jo
