I met Ruth when she started working at Allegheny Valley Hospital, Ruth was kind, funny, and had a big heart. For Christmas one year she gave me a Sarah Coventry bracelet, I still ware it and think of Ruth when I do. I remember the quirky little sneeze she had. We were coworkers but more than that we were friends. Rest In Peace Ruth

Ruth was a beautiful person. Like many, Ruth offered me my first job at Fox’s Pizza. I really enjoyed working for her over a number of years, but also getting to know her family. Rest In Peace and prayers to the entire Hanzlik family.

Ruth, you not only gave me my first job as a member of the Fox’s Pizza Den team, but you also welcomed me into your family.
No matter where I’ve traveled in this world or the years that have passed, I’ve always treasured those relationships.
May God bless you and your family in this time of loss.
