Condolence: Our memories are many and so pleasant of a kind and caring person. One particular one I will share .After the final performance of “the show” Neil and I were cleaning up following the dinner and Ruth came to the kitchen after noticing we had no helpers. She and Ken stayed until after 1:00 am to make sure we didn’t have to be alone in this job. I was so thankful and appreciated her help so much.Ruth was not just a member of our club , she was a pillar of the club. May she Rest In Peace and my thoughts will always be pleasant when I think of this kind lady

Condolence From: Tammy Skater
Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish we could be there to say in words how we feel, to hug you and say good-bye. Aunt Ruth, bless her, treated me like another one of her kids when I was growing up. I have so many memories but my favourite (sounds silly) is her uttering a couple of words out of pure frustration…you could say swear words. I never heard her use a real swear word. I don’t remember her ever really mad and never heard her yell but I will never forget her favourite swear word “Judas Priest.” For me as a teenager loving rock music, it made me laugh out loud every time and still does. Where on earth did she get this swear word from? I wish I would have asked. I will miss her gentleness, her spirit, her smile but I have some wonderful memories that make me smile. We hope you find comfort in sharing your memories. We send our Love to all of you Tammy, David, Mariah and Ashlyn. XOXO
