I know she was loved by everyone she met.
To Ruth's family, I just wanted to say that as a young guy coming to work at State Hospital your mom took me under her wing and helped me be the nurse I am today. I was taught how to work and take care of patients under her direction. I started with Ruth, Wanda, and Ike and now all three of them are gone and the world is a lot less nice. I just wanted to say even though I haven't talked to Ruth in awhile she was always on my mind.
I will deeply miss Ruth. She was a good friend and neighbor. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry for you loss – Ruth was very special to me. I will miss her.
I love you all and am so sorry I won't be able to come down for services. Brandon and Emma are just heartbroken – they adored their Aunt Ruth. We're all going to miss her terribly!
