Ruth, who described herself as “100 and some” years old, died very early in the morning with her daughter Brenda by her side. We enjoyed Ruth’s spunky sense of humor and getting to know her family. They visited her daily – often multiple times a day.

“She was always very thoughtful and wanted to do her part to help others,” Brenda told us. “She was always there for us and for our children. We learned so much from her.”

So did we, Brenda. Thank you for sharing Ruth with us.
