Ruth was a kind and gentle woman. She was a loving mother to her children and a wonderful “nanny” to her grandchildren. All who met her loved her. She loved to be on the go. Her love for food was like no other. From eating out to watching the cooking channel if it had to do with food she was there.
The family would like to send a special thanks to Hospice of San Angelo for the love and care they gave to our mother in the last days of her life.
