Condolence: Danny, Deanna, Brandon and Sam,
Wish I could be there to say goodbye to Ruth. Just know that my prayers have been said and that in my heart, I know that she is truly singing for joy at this very moment because of the place her faith had built for her in this life. Our Heavenly Father was happy to bring her back home to be with Him. I love all of you so very much.

Condolence: Dan, Deanna, Samuel & Brandon,

Our thoughts are with all of you at this time. Ruth will be remembered by Full Sail supporting Hospice of the Columbia Gorge.

With deepest sympathy,

All your Friends at Full Sail

Condolence: over the last nine months i have been working with Ruth at Ashley manor has been a joy she was always telling me how much she like my shoes and i would tell her well we can traded but I'm not so sure yours will fit me and she would laugh and say thats OK they look better on you but most of all she was the high light of my day just coming in and seeing her smile when i came over to her i just wish i had more time to get to know her and i am really sorry to see her go even thought she is in a better place I will keep Ruth in my heart. I loved her like I loved my own grandparents. she was one of my favorite people.

Condolence: Ruth and I hit it off the second we met, I remember asking her if I could nickname her Rizzo, she asked why? I told her that I gave everyone I liked a nickname, she shrugged her shoulders and said "sure", It has a ring to it I guess" and from that day on she was my Rizzo. I knew in my heart that Rizzo was full of light and adventure. I would sit by her for about ten to fifteen minutes after putting her to bed, or waking her up for the day, negotiating on a fair trade or price for one of her amazing pieces of art work. I tried trading her my children, money, chocolate (which she loved) and even my right hand (because it was my good hand) and she said no. She agreed to let me take a picture of it with my phone, but that was it. I will forever keep that picture in my phone as I will keep ruth in my heart. I loved her like I loved my own grandparents.
I love you Rizzo! and I will miss you!
