I WAS SURPRISED TO HEAR OF RUTH'S PASSING BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AT THAT TIME. I AM SO SORRY I MISSED HER CELEBRATION-OF-LIFE GATHERING. SHE AND MY MOTHER, JUANITA HALLAM WERE LONG TIME FRIENDS, AND I HOPE THEY ARE TOGETHER, CONTINUING THEIR FRIENDSHIP. RUTH WAS A SPECIAL, TALENTED, AND INTERESTING PERSON. WHEN LAST WE TALKED, SHE TALKED OF HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS TO DO JUST THE EVERYDAY THINGS, AND THAT SHE WAS READY TO GO. I HOPE SHE IS FINDING THINGS MUCH EASIER NOW. SHE IS MISSED.

My Grandmother, Juanita Hallam, and Ruth were very good friends for many years. Ruth was a good friend to my Grandmother. I met Ruth several times myself, as did many members of my family, and we all believe Ruth was a fun and kind person. She was also a very talented artist. Ruth will be missed.

I just called to wish Ruth a "Happy Birthday" and found out that she has left us.
I think of her often.
Flora Ann or others in the family could you please call me? Linda cell 407 304 0563 home 407 302 8469

I am sad that I was never able to meet my great-aunt Ruth! Aunt Ruth was the sister of my grandmother, Alma Thomas Nowell. She did so look, and sound like, my grandma!
