What a beautiful women in every way. I enjoyed every minute I have spent in her company. We would laugh so hard at stories we shared, and cry sometimes too. Her sense of humor and her passionate opinions on subjects was so interesting to me. I know she loved the Lord with her whole being and for that alone she inspired me. I was Blessed to have know Ruth.I am thanking God for her and happy she is with Him. Dan & Lolita (Salvo),Vasko.

I remember how Ruth would bring me Fannie Mae peppermint candies after the car accident - and her contagious laugh. This life was given a gem in her and she shines brightly even now. My heartfelt sympathy to the family.

Elsie and I are sharing your sorrow. We had great times with Ruth and always enjoyed her young mind and humor. Her place in heaven, I'm sure, is a special one...Murph

Ruth, we'll miss you.

Ruth was my mother in law. The best in the world. Irish as can be, with a great sense of humor. Truly a caring person, and one that wouldn't hurt a fly. I will miss her dearly, but know that she is in a more peaceful place now. I love you Mother-in-Law and will treasure my memories of you forever! Your son-in-law Ken
