I feel so fortunate to have known Ruth and help care for her. Whenever i saw her she made me smile and my day was always brighter no matter whatever else happened. To know Ruth was to love Ruth. I will miss her and never forget her. Sherry Mascorro
We've come a long way from the old days to now. You brought many wonderful people into your life and mine with that smile of yours and your mannerisms. When others had doubts you won their hearts with a smile, or with something you would say - like ,"Do you have a dollar for me? or, "Is that your man? I like him."
By the way, after thirty years of knowing you, you only called me Fritz a few times and then you called me "Rose." I'll always be 'Rose' to you because that made me smile. Then you added, "That lady, Rose." That made me laugh. Whenever someone asked why you called me Rose I could never answer, until now, after I thought about it. You knew how much it made me smile.
Now you're with your daddy, and he's smiling and laughing.
Thanks for older days and nicknames. ~ Fritz Schiele, a.k.a. That Lady, Rose
My condolences go out to Ruth's brothers and to Fritz. Ruth made such an impact on everyone she met, that her spirit will be held in our hearts forever. I hope that I age with even a portion of the dignity and spunk that Ruth had until her last day on earth. I will always cherish the somewhat shocking and always profound words that she could find especially the truths she shared in social situations fully aware that people may find it awkward or her words a bit crass, then flashing the full Ruthie smile that smoothed over anything. I love that she could just sit and look into your face and share a moment of smiles, hand holding, drawing, petting her puppies and just being present together. A few minutes spent with Ruthie could turn a bum day around for me, and many others who looked forward to spending time with her. Because I had the honor of working with Ruth, I have been given many little gifts of time spent with her. Very precious gifts of time and conversation. I appreciate that Ruth would tell you straight out if she was expecting you to do something differently or if you hadn't meet her needs appropriately. Ruth was always quick to say thank you, Thank you Very Much and to pay a compliment when she sensed you might need one.
I will always cherish having coffee with Ruth sharing her day and her sharing mine. I will miss the twinkle in her eye, her quick wit and her story sharing. Rest in eternal peace, sweet, sweet woman. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I know I am better for having known you.
The first time I met Ruthie was when she was a patient in the ICU. As her nurse, I was quite apprehensive with how I was going to communicate with her. That apprehension didn't last long! Her smile and genuine heart made my job easy! Over the years I have had a chance to visit her. Her loves were chocolate, coffee, coloring, and a red dress! We shared a lot of laughs together. I love you Ruthie! You are now whole. xoxo Nancy Solis
Who will color with me now, every time i pick up crayons and a coloring book I'll think of you my friend.. I'll miss holding hands watching wheel of furtune with you. And when i have a cup of coffee Ill always think of you.. You will forever be in my heart.
I remember when you first came to us it was like having my grandma back with me. The twinkle in your eye when you got what you wanted. The pictures you colored oh so bright. The hearts you touched Ruthie did you ever think you were loved so much? You made people smile you made them forget the bad day they were having. You are so loved and will be missed so much. I love you so much thank you for sharing an important part of your life with us. Thank you for the whisper in my ears may you eat all the candy you can find and have that beer. Love you much the money lady Dawn.
What can I say. We will miss you.You was always happy and so sweat.But I also know you are in a better place now.Im sure of it because you was a special lady for our GOD.He loves you more than what we did.
‘When God saw you getting tired’ by Anon
When God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
He put his arms around you
And whispered come to me
He didn’t like what you went through
And he gave you rest
His garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
And when we saw you sleeping
So peaceful and free from pain
We wouldn’t wish you back
To suffer that again
Today we say goodbye
And as you take your final rest
That garden must be beautiful
Because you are one of the best.
