Our sincere sympathy to John and family.  I taught with Ruth Ann for many years as she taught next door to me.  She was a beautiful person with outstanding kindness to all. John, Ruth Ann and we taught at the school camps she sponsored
We were in many school activities together. I remember her brave fight against cancer as she struggled to teach in the room next door to me.I'm sure that in her new heavenly home she is rounding up the loved ones to begin a new activity.

Ruthann was an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.  Her endless energy, creativity, and determination made her a role model for all.  Our prayers go out to John and her entire family.  May your happy memories bring you comfort.

RuthAnn was inspirational, not only with her on-going fight with cancer, but also with the energizer-bunny spirit with which she tackled everything in her life.  She will leave a void; she will be sorely missed by all who knew her and benefitted from her endless drive.  My heart is with RuthAnn's family.  Be well; remember the wonderful times; know that she will always be with you.
