It's hard to believe it has been five years since you passed, Ruth Ann.
You are missed.

At a class reunion we had last year Ruth Ann and her smile were   missed. Memories are still strong.

Ruth Ann was my first serious crush in high school.  She is still fondly remembered for her smile that was always present.  She will be missed at our class reunions.

I remember visiting the family with my parents. God bless you God gives comfort 

RIP Ruth Ann

Our times on Basketball courts were special times for those four high school years.

Locked in forever is the memory of you as Queen and I as King dancing to Moon River on Homecoming night.



As a classmate of Ruth Ann (Ross) at Center Point, IA in 1963 she was a Special Person.  May You Rest in Peace, Ruth Ann.  She was our Home Coming Queen.

35 years ago I met someone who was to become like a second mother to me.  I'll never forget the times spent with Ruth,Jim, Jeff & especially Jen.  There aren't many happy memories from my youth that don't include them.   
The first time we met she made me laugh SO hard, I literally fell out of my chair in her kitchen!  There were so many times that she was there for me.  She loves her family so much.  
I always smile when I think about her and she will be missed.  

We met Jim and Ruth many years ago at the Davenport Loyal Order of Moose Lodge!  Ruth was one of those people who never said a bad word about anyone and she was as genuine as they come!  They were special people!

I have so many wonderful memories of  Aunt Ruth. She always had a smile and a kind word.
 I remember when they lived in Cedar Rapids and our parent, my dad Jim’s brother , Gordy, played cards for hours. The kids played outside until the street lights came on,  watched TV, played games, then fell asleep on the couch. 
I should of stayed in touch after my mom and Uncle Jim died. Thank you for sharing your mother’s love. Hearing her name puts a smile on my  face. 
Susie. 

I'll miss our huggermugger days for sure!! You were always the sunshine in the clouds!! You're daughter has that part of you for sure!! Will miss you dearly Ruth ....I love you

Fred and I send our deepest sympathies. Ruth and Jim were wonderful neighbors for over 30 years. We enjoyed their company many times in the summer visiting on our patio with a cold beer. We have a lot of good memories of those times. We were so sorry when Jim passed. Ruth and Jim were great friends as well as good neighbors. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless them both

I met Ruth and Jim years ago at The Moose,alot of Good Memories,Good People,God Bless Her and May She Finally Rest At Peace With Jim.

To a great lady she was always in our hearts fun growing up in Hiawtha going to her house and talking to her and Jim
