'I'll always remember the wonderful family get togethers we had growing up. With Aunt Ruth's passing it brings to mind that all of us "kids" are growing older, too. The loss of a parent is hard to accept. We want them here with us forever. Aunt Ruth is now pain free & well again. She has been reunited with all of our other family members that have passed on before her. May each of our memories help to comfort us in this difficult time. The Lord has added another Guardian Angel to watch over us.

'I will always remember the family get-togethers we had while growing up. Everyone brought their favorite dish, and Aunt Ruth made a wonderful macaroni salad. The memories of all the aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and siblings still make me smile. Aunt Ruth, I know you have gone on to our true home, and I look forward to seeing you again later!'

'What I remember about Ruth when working in the customer service department @ UHS was her beautiful smile that lid up the room. In fact she always had a smile and was always willing to help and make sure any issue was resolved; she made it about the person she was helping. Her beauty was from within. 
What a wonderful person.'

'I've known and worked with Randy for many years. He is so dear to me that he is as close as family and his family is like family to me. Ruth was a special and loving person who was very dear to me. Always beautiful in spirit, heart and appearance; always kind and generous to me. I share a piece of your sorrow and feel so lucky to have had her in my life.'

'Rest in peace Ruthie. Thank you Ruth, Randy and Donna for always making me feel like a part of the family. All my thoughts and prayers are with you.'

 I think you already know my feelings about your incredible mother. I will miss her beyond belief, she has been there for me to chat with for some 60 years, and I spoke to her with some regularity, and that void will be impossible to fill....Loved her as though she were my mother, as a matter of fact I sometimes asked was she sure that she was not my mother.... 
GREAT LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
