I first met Ruth while playing a game of Risk . She was the most fun and best person that night and for the next 50 plus years . I will miss you Aunt Ruthie . Barry Masin
Always enjoyed our dinners together. Never a lack of conversation , laughter and shared memories. While watching the beautiful service this morning, we pictured her smiling and enjoying the love and beautiful words shared by her family. She will be missed. Love Arlene and Stu ❤️
Ruthie was very kind and welcoming to me when I first joined Congregation Anshei Israel many years ago. She made a point of including me in conversations and introducing me to people. She always greeted me with great warmth and sincerity. She was very special. Jacqueline Bland
As Ruthie's first cousin, I have very fond memories of her. When I was about 8 or 9 years old she baby sat my younger sister and I for a weekend. Both of our parents went to the NY mountains for the weekend. I was so excited to have her alone with us. We had a ball. She did everything to make us stay happy and not miss our parents. When George and I moved to Arizona, 17 years ago, she included us in all family get togethers and most of all reknew our friendship.
The love Ruthie gave out to the world was incredible. Fortunately, I had some time alone with her and Ronnie this past January. It gave me a chance to say some very personal things to her about my love and admiration for her. As always, love exuded from Ruthie.
I miss you my dear sweet Ruthie. May your soul move on to do more of God's work.
Love, Arlene
They say you can pick your friends but not your relatives, but I was blessed the day Ruth came into our family. She was an amazing individual, strong,vibrant,caring and most of all loving.
Anyone whose life she touched was a better person for it. I'll miss her dearly.

Ruth has always been a positive light, loving, friendly, welcoming and caring. She was also a fun person, very smart and knew how to enjoy life and make life enjoyable for others. I will miss her dearly. Frank Mix
I was best man at Ruth and Ron's wedding and was blessed to share with them so many family mitzvahs over the years - memories I will treasure. One of the sweetest, most lovable people I have ever known.

Ruthie was kind to everyone she dealt with. I never heard her say a harsh word to anyone. Through all the trials and joys of her family life, she offered love and compassion. It is devastating to know that she is gone forever, but Ruthie will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved and admired this very special person. With our heartfelt condolences, Beverly and Morris Fine
Ron and children. I only hope Ruthie knew how many people loved her and how much she will be missed. That beautiful always smiling face and her always caring, thoughtful genuine love for everyone will never be forgotten.
Oh I will miss you sweet Ruthie. My thoughts are with your family. Every time I saw you, you were always beaming and so sweet and kind with a kiss on your cheek. Love, Stephanie and Cole
