I met Ruth at the Legacy, while visiting my dear neighbor Dewey. We all enjoyed her quick wit and kind heart. She was so very personable and we loved hearing her tell stories about her life and her family.
She will be greatly missed by Dewey, and the rest of her Legacy friends.

Ruth was my mother's cousin. I only met her once that I remember 0unless it was at Uncle Bob's place near Thayer) It was in Lincoln. Mom (Gladys Gilmore Becker) often talked about her.

We were sorry to hear about Ruth. We did not know her personally, but did see her coming to church with Terry. She has had a long life, but everyone still misses one of their family when they are gone. Blessings.
