Ruthie is one of my favorite people in the world!! She had one of the BIGGEST HEARTS in the world too!! And I will miss her very much! My Mom, Lassie, wanted me to put on here, that she was her MOST FAVORITE Welch employee.(That is of the retiree age, that is)She said there's lot's of stories behind that statement! My whole family loved her, Bob, and Lester! Now, she is one of God's angels... And is enjoying her new life on a big fluffy cloud with Bob and her boys!

A more caring person, their can never be.
Although my acquaintance with Ruth, other than having her sons Bob and Lester as good friends for too short of time, was sadly limited to small talk in the Welchs break room and polite greetings as we passed in the grocery stores. I do feel I know Ruth enough to say that there can never be a stronger or more caring person than she. Even with all the tragedy and sadness she had to endure, she always had a smile for me. I will always see that smile in my minds eye. I will always miss you Ruth.
