So very sorry to read of Ruth’s passing. I graduated with Ruth from OHS in 1976. She always had a smile for all and was such a sweet person. I will be keeping your family in my prayers.

I remember Ruth in a few of my classes in school. I recall she was always nice and her unique smile and her beautiful hair is something I recall when I think of her.
My condolences to Harold and all of her family. May she rest in peace.
Truly.

So sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. She was a neighbor of mine growing up and then after I got married we lived right next door to her and her family. She eventually moved and I didn’t see her to much at all. She was a very kind person with a big smile. I remember when my Mom passed away she came walking up to my parents house with a platter of homemade chocolate chip cookies and said I put extra chocolate chips in those for the kids!!!! My deepest sympathy to her family.

My condolences to the family. I haven’t
seen Ruth in years. I used to see her
every day @ Borgess where we both
worked. She was such a nice person and
so quiet! She never got caught up in the
hospital drama. I liked that about her.
She knew what was really important in
life. And I know she’s going to meet Him
with a big plate of cookies. Rest your
soul Ruth.
