We still miss seeing Ruta walk down the road with her dog. She would always say hello.

I met you as a adolescent and knew you until I left Jaffrey at 18, but I never forgot you. Over the years I would occasionally check to see if you were alive and well. I just today learned of your passing and am sad to hear the news. My mother was your friend for a long time and even now in her failing health and forgetfulness, also remembers you well. You just had that impact. I wish your family peace and comfort as they go forward without you.

Ruta was a sweet woman. She always greeted my husband Walter and I with a "Hi Sweetie, how are you?" She spoke of loving my late nephew Danny and late brother John with such kindness a sincerity it truly touched my heart.She will be remembered by many in Jaffrey for her kind, loving personality and ability to bring a smile for those she met.
She's resting in the arms of her Savior who she spoke of often.

I was blessed to have the opportunity to care for Ruta in Caldwell. She lit up everyday she saw me. It was a blessing to go to work each day to see her.
She is dearly missed and always in my heart.

Ruta was a good friend who is sorely missed. The “mayor” of First Tavern Rd used to look after everyone and was the “protector” of the road. RIP Ruta. Sorry you never got to see the gray hair you so wished for.
