RUTH COGAN Obituary

COGAN--Ruth. Ruth Mitchell Cogan, 83, of Edgartown, MA and West Palm Beach, FL, died peacefully in her Florida home after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. She is survived by her beloved husband of 58 years, Rev. Timothy B. Cogan, her two sons (John and Milo), their wives and four terrific grandchildren. She was predeceased by her sister-in-law M. Sheridan Cogan. Ruth's sense of humor and ability to make the people around her laugh was a gift that won't be forgotten, nor her bravery.
