My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. I was at the cemetery today putting flowers on my sister's grave and walked over to Howard's grave and was saddened to see a date by her name. What a wonderful kind genuine person she was. My sister found a very loving family when she married Howie and Matt. Take care.

I was sad to see that Ruth died. I didn't know her, but lived down the street. I used to see her walking, winter or summer to the community center. She turned down my offer for a ride one day because she didn't have that far to go. My condolences to your family and may she rest in peace.

Hello.
I do not recall ever meeting Ruth, she just seems so familiar to me. Years ago, we lived in Des Moines and we had relatives in Ankeny - Jeff and Mary Segin and their 3 children. When the flood of l993 shut down all the water in Des Moines, we had to come out to shower in Ankeny.
There is something so calming about Ruth's smile - she seemed so familiar to me.
God Bless and take good care.

Just wanted to tell you all how sorry I am to hear about your mom's passing. I visited with her daughter and son at Ramsey while I stopped to visit my mom. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ruthie was the heart and soul of our senior center. I was lucky enough to work with her for almost 7 years. She thought me to remember my purpose . I am so thankful to have had her friendship. I thank her for helping me be who I am today.
Much peace my friend.
Love Maureen

Have so many memories of Ruth in the few years I had the priviledge of knowing her. Hard to believe she won't be returning to her home across the street again.

I was never able to meet Ruth, but I had frequent contact with her children when they would come visit her at Ramsey Village. Everyone has been saddened to hear of her passing and we will all miss visiting with her family members. Hold on to your memories and they will hold on to you.
