I was a student of Mrs. Woodruff at Dreher High School in 1957.  She was one of the best teachers and he son, Woody, was an excellent oboe player.   She was an accompanist for some of our band soloists.

The Dreher family mourns the loss of Mrs. Woodruff.  She personified the best of our proud tradition.  She was a true pioneer and a source of great support and inspiration to women seeking leadership roles in education.  We are forever grateful for the guidance, love and support given to the young people of our communities through the years.

Ruth Woodruff was the epitome of a Southern lady. She was a wonderful role model for her students at Dreher, and after she retired, she never forgot them and returned to many of their reunions. Her sweet mile and kind nature will live on in our memories. Thank you Mrs. Woodruff:)

Mrs. Woodruff was a wonderful lady that showed what being a Christian was all about.  I enjoyed hearing her sing while attending St. John's and seeing first hand how she handled herself with students at Dreher High School. Our Lord broke the mold when He created her.  May God bless the family with grace and peace as they celebrate her wonderful life.

Mrs. Woodruff was one of Dreher's shining lights, setting a high standard of leadership for its students.

WHAT a model lady and life for all to emulate!  Ruth WAS a grand lady.  I first met her in aerobics class at the YMCA in Columbia.  She touched my life and I always looked up to her.  No sweeter smile or heart, not to mention all her talents.  I am so sorry she will no longer grace Columbia.  My sympathy to the family and all who will miss her so.

My deepest sympathies to you all.  Your loss is Columbia's loss as well.  Mrs. Woodruff touched the lives of so many of us.  --Mary Schlaefer Watt (Polly)

One of the grandest and greatest ladies I ever met. She touched so many people's lives, in so many positive ways. Her mastery of the Men's Bachelors Anonymous Club at Dreher High School helped many silly boys, become knowledgeable young men. Thanks Mrs. Woodruff, and God's Speed to your next assignment.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
