I went to nursing school at Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing with Ruth. She was a kind person and I know she became a wonderful nurse. I´m so saddened to see her passing, she still had so much more to offer to people in need of her caring practice. Condolences to her family who must miss her bright presence terribly!
