Ruth will be remembered for her smile, wit, and love of her family. What a great lady. You need not look farther than her husband and children to know the mark she has made in this world. Inscribed on a headstone in Ireland: Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. She will be missed and always remembered.

Condolences from the Leahy family in Sioux City, IA. Great memories of the Worm matriarch when we were growing up, along with Uncle George and all the cousins. We will miss her sweet nature, and her warm and gentle way with her loving family. We will keep her family in our thoughts and prayers.
