Ruth Ella Navratil

I have had the honor of knowing Ruth for all the years I've been a friend to Nancy...since kindergarten. I spent many a day & night in Ruth's and Chuck's home. We did school projects, and made brownies and cookies in her kitchen. Nancy learned how to be a great hostess and cook from observing her mom. I'm not sure her example of ladylike behavior stuck with either of us... I can vividly picture the different looks she gave us, but rarely were they angry. I loved her smile and sense of humor, and she was always impeccably dressed. I appreciated her acceptance, tolerance, and love she gave me, especially during those H.S. years. She was a wonderful mom of three daughters, all different, Thanks Ruthie. It has been a privilege to know you. You will be terribly missed by all!! Say hi to Chuck. Love you always, Cheryl Takle (Engibous)

I remember Ruth as a fun- loving person and having great love for her family. I am sure all of you have wonderful memories also

There will always be a void that only Aunt Rudy could fill. I think that Cheryl described her perfectly below. She was always there for us, even when she was sick. I will miss you terribly Root Toots. Lonny

More memories of mom...
