Cliff and Johnny so sorry to hear about your Mom. Lots of good times as kids. Great memories! God bless you all.
I always loved to be around Ruth at family functions. She would always tell me funny stories about her life with family and friends. We were always cuttin' up and laughing. She will be missed and remembered with love often. With prayers and thoughts, Robin Lopez
Like Willard, l’ve had the good fortune to have known Ruth for a long time. Manfred and I were strangers in town when we found a home at St, Mark’s and Ruth immediately took us under her wing. We enjoyed her warm hospitality many times over the years.
Ruth was devoted to St. Mark’s and in her younger days was always among the first to volunteer for any project that came along.
My deepest sympathy to your family. She always spoke of you so lovingly and I know you were very good to her. I love you, Ruth, Rae. (Deicke)
Ruth and Ken were very good friends in many years of Johnnie and my lives. Our children had lots of happy hours in their early years. I am so grateful for the fond memories I hold in my heart of this friendship. My prayers to Johnny, Cliff and her sister Frankie in their bereavement. I believe the memories they will recall mostly loving ones. Illness took a toll in the last years. God bless all who loved Ruth. 🙏
Ruth was one of the finest people I've known. You ALWAYS knew where she stood on things. She was never afraid to ask the hard questions. I'm blessed to have spent 30 years with her in my life and will miss her terribly.

Our dearest friend. We enjoyed playing Canasta with Ruth and Ken.. who played a decent round of golf. She told a story defending the LDS faith when at the hairdresser listening to two biddies degrade the faith being they weren't Christians told them to hush up their ignorance. A grand dame who will be missed and yet who will be with her love hereafter forevermore.
