So sad to learn of Ruth's passing. Had been looking forward to spending time with her and Jim over the coming holidays. She was a very talented lady who shared those talents and wisdom with her children and grandchildren. Ruth will be greatly missed.

Such a strong woman with a great sense of humor. Growing up, I was in awe of her and so impressed that she could do almost anything. Be at peace, Ruthy~

So very sorry Jim and family and Crystal. Ruth was funny , loved her family to pieces and always said what was on her mind. That's why I loved her! The world has lost a precious soul. Our painting class will miss her so much.
Comfort, love and hugs to you Ruth in your new life.
