God speed dear Ruth Ann. How I admired your delivery as you so graciously agreed many times to share your knowledge to our caregivers in our Alzheimers & Dementia classes when asked. You so generously gave of yourself to us and so many others. I reach out to your family to share my condolences. Leona

What a beautiful spirit has passed from our midst. Ruth Ann was such a loving, joyous, and inspirational person who touched many lives. Through her social work, her understanding and compassion for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers was unsurpassed, and she was a dynamic speaker who touched hearts. Deepest condolences to her family. She will be missed.
