Dear Denny and Family, We are so sorry about Ruth's passing in this physical world but spiritually she lives on. I have known Ruth for 45 years and have had many successful real estate transactions with her. I am proud to have sponsored her into the Madison Middleton West Towne Rotary Club. I am donating $100 to our local Rotary Foundation in her name. Our prayers are with you as you move forward during this difficult time.

Wished we had a photo of our time together during the snow storm that left us stranded at your place, or our party at the Grand Geneva Resort with you and the Sperles, followed by dinner at Paisans getting introduced to hot peppers on pizza. We have nothing but good memories of you and Ruth. Take care!

Denny and Family-just learned of Ruth´s passing. We remember with great fun all our trips together. I was privileged to work with her for a number of years. Alliant was a better company for work there. Know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. All the best.

Denny, my condolences on the Ruth´s passing. I worked with her at Alliant Energy and Heartland Properties and she was a joy to know and work with. Her smile (and yours as well) were some of the most memorable to me. So sad to hear of her passing. Hugs to you and the family.
