Last night my daughter asked me to tell her another story of my childhood.  I said, "I'll tell you a new story about Mrs. Bramhall, 4th grade was my favorite year in school because of her."  She said, "Oh yeah, the teacher with the puppets."  Later that night, I thought about Mrs. Bramhall, my favorite teacher and how I wish I could tell her what a positive impact she had on my life.  By a long shot, this morning I googled her.  I found out that she passed away.  I'm saddened by this news, but grateful I had the opportunity to be one of her students (everyone hoped they'd be in her class).  A wonderful teacher can truly make a big difference!  Mrs. Bramhall was that teacher who made learning fun and took that extra time to help those kids who were struggling (like me).  She absolutely was one of the best!  Thanks to all those teachers who are kind, loving, patient, motivational, positive...the Mrs. Bramhall's of the world! I became a teacher & my daughter is studying to be a teacher! Ruth Bramhall made a significant difference in my life! There is now a void on this Earth with her passing.  My deepest condolences to her family & friends….I’m certain her legacy will always live on!💖  
- Angy (Willard) A student of Mrs.Bramhall’s in 1980 something at Phalen Lake Elementary

Bye Auntie Ruth, Now I have two Angels watching over Me and my Sisters and our love ones. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Last night my daughter asked me to tell her another story of my childhood. I said, "I'll tell you a new story about Mrs. Bramhall, 4th grade was my favorite year in school because of her." She said, "Oh yeah, the teacher with the puppets." Later that night, I thought about Mrs. Bramhall, my favorite teacher and how I wish I could tell her what a positive impact she had on my life. By a long shot, this morning I googled her. I found out that she just recently passed away. I'm saddened by this news, but thankful I had the opportunity to be one of her students (everyone hoped they'd be in her class). A wonderful teacher can truly make a big difference! Mrs. Bramhall was the teacher that made learning fun and took that extra time to help those kids who were struggling (like me). She truly was one of the best! Thanks to all those teachers who are kind, loving, patient, motivational, positive...the Mrs. Bramhall's of the world!  I was in her 4th grade class in 1981 at Phalen Lake.  I will never forget her and aspire each day to be the kind of teacher she was.

She was one of the best teacher I had at Phalen Lake.  I am sorry for your loss.

She was my fourth grade teacher in 1981 at Phalen Lake. She was an awesome lady and I will never forget her. RIP. U will be missed

I was a 4th grade student of Mrs Bramhall in 1982.
I just learned of her passing and wanted to pass on my condolences. She was a wonderful lady. She helped foster a lifelong love of reading for me.
I've always remembered her giraffe collection, her machine gun sneezes and Where the Red Fern Grows.
May she RIP

May God be with you and your family today and always!  We will always remember Aunt Ruth, I know Grandma Joyce our Dad and Aunt Ruth are all together now. Peace be with you all
Love Dede

Ted and family,
We are so sorry to read of Ruth's passing. Such a great lady and patient.

Ms. Bramhall was my sixth grade teacher--and she was one of the most influential teachers I had in my life. She pushed me to be find my creativity and run with it!

Ruth was a kind and generous and beautiful person. She was so courageous! I feel very blessed that she and Ted have been my friends for the last several years. May her family be carried gently through this time of loss.

She was a great friend, worked with her many years at Mn Fabrics and we remained friends. Tried to get together each year when I returned to MN. So sorry I didn't get to see her last year...Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Sorry to hear of another SHS classmate passing. I didn't know her very well,but I last saw her at the 70th birthday celebration for our class. Condolenses to Ruth's family.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe Ruth, a true friend. Thru her entire lengthy illness we never heard her complain.  She will be missed by all of her many High School friends.  God Bless her family.

Ruth and I go back to Adams Grade School thru High School.   I have great memories of her as a good friend.   Peace to the family.   Kay Vinge

We are thinking of you at this difficult time and are so sorry. Sending Prayers and hugs. Mike & Lolly

Our condolences to all of Ruth's family on her passing.  We were classmates in High School at South High in Minneapolis.  May the Lord give you peace and comfort.  Jerry and Sharon Swerdfiger

Praying for comfort for family and friends. Sending love and hugs.
Mike and Judy Rodewald

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
