I have never in my life met a woman with more spirit and spunk than Ruth. She was the matriarch of a big family and the tie that bound so many together. She raised beautiful children and was a brilliant grandmother. She provided my former husband with so much love and experience, all of which formed him into the man he is today. She brought humor to every interaction, even when she wasn’t necessarily trying to be funny. She was fiercely loyal to her family even when she was frustrated with them. Her passing is a great loss to the world and an even greater loss to a family I love. I am so sorry for all of you and I am certain she is now at peace and can finally return to the woman she was before Ilness changed her. I love you all.
