So sorry For your Loss
I worked at Christian Care Senior Care when Ruth was livving there.
SHe was my favorite resident. Every night we would chat while I got her ready for bed. She knew the street I lived on and would tell me that I didnt have far to go but to be careful on my wy home. I convinced her that she looked absolutly beautiful with out her wig, when she let the beauty parlor do her own hair. I told her she didnt need the wig. Ruth was going around showing everybody how good her hair was. I just loved her and how sweet she is. Im truly sadden by her passing.

May she rest in peace

Dear Bill, Gary, Rick and Family-

I was so very saddened to hear of "Ruthie's" passing and even more saddened that I was not able to attend her service.

Let me tell you----my sisters, my mother, and I had the fondest memories of your lovely Mother. We went on many great [day] trips to Grand Rapids, Saugatuck, and Frankenmuth. I loved going over to her home to have a diet coke and her homemade tapioca pudding. Ruthie always had a smile on her face and a pep in her step!

What a blessing she was to my Family as we were growing up, and I was thankful that she had the chance join my husband, sons, and I at family gatherings at our own home.

What a special lady she was and I am truly going to miss her dearly.

I send all of you my prayers.

Aunt Ruth was a fantastic person. She always welcomed me and my family with open arms, a big kiss, and some of the best food that a person could eat.
I have fond memories of my childhood spending time playing in the snow with Rick and Gary. We, also, played bumper pool in one of the best basements in the area. We had lots of fun playing and laughing in their warm and welcoming home.
I always looked forward to leaving Hawaii and visiting my Aunt Ruth.
She only visited Hawaii once with uncle Arvo, but we lived it up when they were here. We, my mom Lila dad Richard Champion uncle Arvo and aunt Ruth, all packed into my 1978 Toyota Corolla I took them up Chain of Craters Road. We had a great time seeing the Big Island of Hawaii.
You will never know and words are insufficient to express how much Ruth Javri's love and compassion has influenced my life. I will miss her. But her love and influence remain in my heart.

Love Matt Champion

in honor of Ruth.

What a pretty picture of Ruth in the Obituaries / Muskegon Chronicle. I remember how nice she always looked when working at the voting precinct as an election inspector. She greeted the voters with her friendly smile and then gave them their ballot to mark and vote. My heart goes out to Ruth's family.

My sympathy to Ruth's family. She and her husband Arvo were active members of our Finnish-American Society. We have many memories of them.
