Ruth Poulter Obituary
One of our fondest memories is the time we spent working together at her restaurant, Posh Nosh, in Nevada City. It was there that she instilled in us the value of hard work and loving what you do. Her legacy as an active member of the Nevada County community will live on through the kindness she showed and the strength she embodied.
We love you mom! Chad and Lisa

Chad and Lisa:
Your mom and I grew up together in Nevada City, and graduated from NUHS Class of '69 . She lived across the South Pine Street Bridge from and we used to meet in the middle of it to talk. She will remain in my heart forever.
Love to you both,
Joan

This breaks my heart. Ruth became a dear friend as we spent much time together at Pioneer Park exercising pyr dogs and discussing all things Nevada City, life, parenting and the state of the world. She was a wonderful, sharp woman with a great laugh. She contributed so much to Nevada City in many ways. She loved her kids and she loved her dog, July. You are missed, Ruth.

I was a regular at the Posh Nosh for breakfast - my glass gallery was across the street - coffee with Ruth was a regular thing.

I was so sorry to read of your mother´s passing. She was my real estate agent, when I purchased a home in 2012. Nice, funny woman.

Posh Nosh was the first restaurant that I went to when I moved to Nevada City in 1998. I loved the patio dining. Ruth did a wonderful thing for the community for many years. I miss her and her contributions. Love to the family.

I'm so sad that Ruth is no longer here. She was a dear friend. We raised our kids together and shared a lot of our early adult hood experiences. I will miss her!
