I only got to know Ruth recently at Shorehaven and found her to be a delightful lady! She loved the flowers that her family brought her and loved to read. I will miss having her as a friend.

The family of Gary Lemke would like to extend their sympathy. She was a special close, personal friend to Myrt, and Godmother to her son, Bill. Her delightful notes and cards kept a friendship going that began in grade school. She will be missed, but not forgotten. May God's promise give you comfort.
