Sadness overwhelms our family hearing of Ruth passing ( "Oofie" as our boys called her), But, our hearts all know that she is at peace now. Ruth's presence as a patient at the same nursing home we would visit, will be etched our hearts forever..Ruth would recognize us with that everlasting smile and reach out for our hand in love, laughing about whatever was going thru her mind!! She always offered us her "baby doll" to hold momentarily.. That was Ruth....one awesome neighborhood MOM..always smiling, laughing, telling jokes, caring about everyone ! We cherish the memories Shelley and John "Boy"..
God Bless and keep you all strong !
Love ya
Jim & Kathy Alfred
