Mark and Marcia,
My condolences on the passing of Ruth. She was always so kind to me and a very loving Grandmother to the boys. We all have so many memories of Christmas mornings at her house and just so many other times, too many to count. She will be missed so much. Very grateful to have had her in my life.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. As a volunteer at Hospice I enjoyed my time with Ruth; I held her hand and we visited about life. I truly will miss her. We had a couple laughs and I appreciated her wit and how sharp her mind was. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Sincerely,

Family of Ruth and Bob, we have so many good memories of your parents. Ruth and I were the best of friends. In school years ago they would seat you alphabetical in which we sat one behind the other with Sherman, Slate all through high school. We graduated together and lived close to each other in Clayton.Best of friends. She introduced me to my husband of 69 years. I have been thinking of her for the past few weeks but we are just getting over Covid so pretty much stay in. May she be at peace.!

So sorry to hear about Ruth’s passing. She was always very sweet and also very opinionated! Had waited on her through the years at the old B and D market, banking and fuel companies where I worked.
