I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Ruth's family. I will never forget her great smile and deep chuckle that would light up a room. Her ability to meet perfect strangers and become friends in seconds is something I've never seen. She will be and is greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Ruthie's passing. We have known each other for years. Her sparkling blue eyes and laughter will be remembered forever. Ride into the sunset Ruthie, and I will see you on the other side. Patty Baker-Kraus
