So very sorry to learn of Ruthie´s passing. She was always able to put a smile on one´s face, and was a joy to know. I met Ruthie in 2003 when first camping at Woodland as seasonal campers. I have many fond memories of times spent with her at the campground . My prayers go out to her family at this difficult time. Ruthie will be deeply missed .
