Deepest sympathy to the family. Ruth was a good woman, great since of humor. Very strong woman. She was once like my second mother. God rest her soul. Love Darla Shaeffer

I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know Ruth during her time living at Evergreen Estates. She was a lovely lady and will be missed!

We always enjoyed Aunt Ruthie’s visits when she came down to the country to spend time with us. She always had a big smile on her face. When she had her stroke she insisted on taking walks with us because she said it was the only way to make her legs strong again. She was absolutely so funny. She loved to laugh. We enjoyed her so much. We are so sorry for her family’s loss. She was very loved
