I just did a search for Ruthann and am very sad to find she has passed away. I grew up spending lots of time in the Ryan house. I was good friends with her son and spent lots of time at their house in Rockland county. I never saw Ruthann in a bad mood. Always happy to see everyone. Although I've lost contact with her son I hope everyone is well. Ruthann is remembered as such a great person, honest, happy, funny and I'm so sorry to hear she's passed.

I always enjoyed seeing Ruthann and Jack when they came in for service at the Automall - she always had a kind word and smile on her face. She will truly be missed.
