Ruth was always in my class from kindergarten through high school. I will remember her as a very caring and giving person with a smile for those around her and I'm sure she will be greatly missed. I so enjoyed visiting with her at our 50th Class Reunion a few years ago. My deepest sympathy to her family during these difficult days.
