Joanne, Donna, Rick, and family, I was deeply saddened to hear of the loss of your dear mother. She was such a fun and spirited lady. I will treasure the memories of spending time at your house in Hanley Hills when growing up. Mrs. Ruby always had snacks for us and played games with us. She took us to carnivals, Steak 'n Shake.movies, dances, you name it. She enjoyed her children and family and was a great Mother. God Bless You All. Georgia D'A

So sorry to hear about Katherine. I was happy to visit with her, share laughs and old family photographs just a few years ago with my mother - her cousin Louise Ranson Phillips. May she rest in peace. Karen Phillips Giammicchio and family
