Ruth B. (Burgess) Crocker

I am saddened to hear of Ruth's passing . When I moved into my neighborhood she was so kind and welcoming always coming over to share her perennials.

To Ruth's entire family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. I had the very happy opportunity to work with Ruth many times at Hillcrest Hospital in Pittsfield, MA. She was always professional, caring and supportive to all, both patients and co-workers. It was quite lovely to have her on staff. Ruth was one of the "old school" nurses, so you knew her patients care would be administered correctly, thoroughly and completely ; that was the only way nursing care was given by "old school" nurses. Fully examined & assessed and given the care needed. Ruth knew what she was about. GOD bless her! I will keep you all in my prayers, and Ruth as well. Sharon Shogry RN Naples, FL.

I have always been grateful to have worked with Ruth in the 1970's at Hillcrest Hospital in Pittsfield, MA. We worked together, sometimes alone on the 11 to 7 shift on the medical unit which Ruth often managed.
Ruth was a wonderful mentor to me, as I was fairly new in Nursing. She was very consciencious, and rolled up her sleeves to get the work done, always in a friendly, professional and caring attitude. I learned so much from her, and know first hand why she earned great respect from co-workers and her patients. After her retirement, we kept in touch. I extend my deepest sympathy to all of Ruths family. Jane R Kelley RN, Richmond, MA.

My condolences to Virginia and the entire family on the ooss of your mom.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Ruth was a lovely and caring person. Many great memories and shared events. Could not ask for better neighbors. Take care and (Jim) keep in touch. Kevin & Laurie Connor

Dear Crocker Family,
My name is Jane Lyon. My parents, Jean and Wes Lyon were very good friends with Ruth and Earle through First Baptist Church. I remember them fondly as I was growing up in Pittsfield. And I also recall many happy times that our parents shared together, in and out of church and on the golf course. I'm sending you my heartfelt condolences during this sad time of loss. But know that your memories are for your blessings. With peace and comfort, Jane Lyon

My condolences to the family. May the fond and loving memories be a comfort and always be with you.
