Ruth was a kind and loving soul. A guiding light and shining example of a caring, supportive and loving wife, mother, aunt, sister, grandmother and friend. She was a selfless person with a generous heart. Everyone who knew her loved her. Ruth lived a life full of laughter and love. She had a successful career but also looked forward to retirement. She enjoyed going out to eat and being in the company of others. Ruth was a significant influence in the lives of so many. She was a woman of faith and always said The Rosary. She was a devoted wife who deeply loved her husband, Otto. They were inseparable and enjoyed spending all their time together. Their loving marriage was an inspiration.  She will be greatly missed.
