Condolence: It is with a heavy heart that I send our condolences to all those that loved Aunt Ruth.
I am very sorry I could not make the services but I have been thinking of her and praying for all of you since I heard.
Aunt Ruth is a family friend going back to my grandparents, La Vern and Edna Gifford.
She taught me the value of hard work. It was Aunt Ruth that helped me develope my work ethics.
Aunt Ruth and Mary Ann were a very important part of my life growing up. I will never be able to thank them enough for the time they shared with me.
Mary Ann, please contact me if you can. I have tried to contact you every way I know how without success.
Our sincere sympathy and love.
Richard & Judy Smith

Condolence: Mary Ann,

I am so sorry I missed the services for Ruthy. I still live across from where her camp was and think of her often. Especially in the summer when I mow the lawn.

She will be missed but will be remembered fondly by not only myself but my brothers, Richard and David.

God Bless

Condolence: You will be missed and Aunt Mernie just remember all the good times we had up at her camp. I know that you will keep her memory alive.

Condolence: I worked with Ruth as well as Mary Ann for many years. I saw Ruth last a few years ago at the hospital.
I also worked with Ruth as Chief Negotiator for the LPN's of New York. She was a great asset and I feel a great friend . I will miss her.
God Bless,
Ed Pickering,( past LPN), RN and Nurse Practitioner
