Ruth was an avid reader who loved pets, going to the casinos and enjoyed world wide traveling with her friends and family. "Grammie" enjoyed playing board games, puzzles and was fortunate in her final years to see her grandsons, her "Knights in Shining Armor", grow up to be young adults. Everyone that met Grammie loved her and she loved them back; whether it was just a wave or a funny/family story. She will be remembered.
