Sweet Ruth. I've been searching the internet for you for years. I fondly remember your loving caring personality. As a young boy I worked at Kent Dental in Aston after high school. You were so funny and kind. Everyone loved you. I didn't know how old you were in 1980 when we met. But I figured you were 10 years or so older than my parents. I remembered your sons name was Stephen and that you lived in upper Darby. Tonight I did another random search, and your beautiful face and this obituary popped up. I knew immediately it was you. I had stopped searching temporarily in 2017 because my 83 yr old father was dying and needed my full attention. I just wished I could have found you before you left the world. If you are aware of this. Then you know how loved you were.

Ruth was a beautiful person inside and out. She has a great sense of humor and loved life especially when she was with her family. She left me with a lot of great memories and I will truly miss her.
