I had worked with Ruth at BMC for a number of years. A skilled psychiatric nurse, compassionate and caring. A loving selfless colleague and am fortunate to have been in her life and crossed paths for a moment in time. Memories cherished. Yes, they are Ruthie. Mike

I did not know Ruth but as she was a nurse her passing is a loss for the entire community. Nurses are heros selflessly devoting their lives to helping and comforting others. May the family of Ruth be condoled in this sad time. Peace.
