Cindy Janet Ruth

Cindy was a long time resident of Stafford and loved the mountains, camping, canoeing and all bodies of water. She was happily married for 40 years to her soul mate, Dave and they built a close family that loved spending time together. She especially enjoyed time with her grandchildren.

Cindy was a beautiful human being, both inside and out, and brought joy, compassion and love to everyone who knew her.

Cindy is survived by her loving husband Dave, her children David Ruth, wife Lorraine and Heather Schmidt, grandchildren Emma, David, Allison, John and James; mother June, sister Susan and brothers David and Kenny and numerous others who loved her.

She has joined her father Bill, and other family members, in heaven.

She requested cremation and asked that a Celebration of her Life be delayed until the Covid-19 virus is less prevalent and under control. Family and friends will be notified in advance of this event once scheduled.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to either:

Inova Fairfax’s Heart Transplant department whose talented, dedicated and loving providers and staff expertly cared for Cindy for so many years: https://support.inova.org/page/3747/donate/1?ea.tracking.id=redirect or ASPCA animal shelters: https://secure.aspca.org/donate/donate?ms=wb_top_donate&initialms=wb_top_donate&pcode=WEBMEMBER&lpcode=WEBGUARD
