Some people make the world a better place just by being in it. Ruth was one of those people. She was a kind, caring and soft spoken lady. I would like to think I became a better person because of her example. I worked with Ruth at LCVTS and enjoyed having her at our Golden Girl luncheons. She will not be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with her children and grandchildren.
