Wow, I don't know where to start. I worked with Ruth for 2 years at CareSource. She took me under her wing. I enjoyed and always looked forward to working with her. We had an immediated affinity for one another. She had a joyful and caring spirit. She mothered all of us. During my illness she made sure that every week I received a card with bright smiley faces. We often talked and shared our woes after parting from CareSource. I would always tell her take care of herself too. I still have the bread maker she gave me. I will treasure always the time, talks and laughs I shared with Ruth. I am very saddened by her passing. While I will miss her terribly, I will remember and cherish the memories of her in life. To Ruth you were a good friend. My deepest sympathies to her family and Jerry. I lam truly sorry for your loss. I lift you up in prayer during this trying time.

To all the Lehmanns
Be together as a family to help each other heal during this difficult time. You all have been there for your extended family. Just know you are in our thoughts and prayers for your loss.

I have known Ruth for many years and worked with her several of those years. She was always a person who thought of others first and was a caring and loving spirit. She will be missed by her family and friends but is in the hands of God without pain or suffering. My sympathies and prayers are extended to her family and friends.

To the Lehmann Family and Jerry

My name is Judy (Ksiezopolski)White.I believe I was in the class at Julienne with Rose.
I have a wonderful memory of Ruth when her and I and one of your younger sisters went to see your relatives in New Mexico. We also went to Colorado and to Juarez, Mexico.
I could not drive at the time so Ruth did all the driving.Some funny things included a speeding ticket and a very short night in a motel that was so bad we hated to lay on the bed.When Ruth got rested we got back on the road ,we just wanted out of there.Ruth was always fun to be around. So long old friend and until we meet again may God hold you in the palm of His Hand.
Sorry to all of you for your loss.

I too, worked with Ruth at two different companies in the past 10 years. She was a compassionate, caring Nurse who not only took care of the Client but her Co-Workers. You could always count on a Birthday or Get Well card from Ruth. On one occasion she and her husband Jerry attended church with my husband Bill and I. She always told me that I should sign my name more often with my Military Rank. May God comfort you as my Family and I offer our sincere condolences and I honor Ruth personally by signing......
