What a Grandma loss! Ruth spoiled Chris and Wendy. I know of no other who could do such a super granny job. Never said no to Wendy and would get all ready every time Chris said he wanted to go see the trains and drive all over Fostoria and try to find him the trains. I know Ruth has left Chris and Wendy with great memories.

Paul & Trish,
So very sorry to hear of Aunt Ruth’s passing. We have so many special memories
of Aunt Ruth, and her Family . She was a faithful servant of our Lord and Church. We will
meet again some day, having a Family reunion in Heaven. Hope someone packs a tin of my
fudge, as it was the one request Aunt Ruth had during the Holiday Season.
Since her move to FL. I have missed our visits, and seeing her zipping around Fremont in her Bright Red sports car. People giving her a second look when she got out of her pretty car at Kroger’s, was fun to see.
My Deepest Sympathy,
Tim & Linda Merrill
