I knew Ruth from my Navy days in what now seems like a lifetime ago. I remember her wit most of all, which was always on display during those long late night talks that only the young can have. She was the glue that held a very special friends group together and I will miss her.

One of my favorite memories of Ruth was from her early years working at the Assessor's office. She used to tell us about the trials and tribulations of her love life. She told me about a first date who came to pick her up. She showed off her new mailbox to him and then opened it to see if she had any mail. A bird flew out of it and into her date's face. Ruth said he "screamed like a girl." I don't think she went out with him again. I told her that she should have her own comedy show. In a way she did, and we all got to enjoy it. We'll miss you, Ruth.

Ruth and I met with the reorganization of the Avondale Civic Club. She was my cheerleader and I was hers. She organized so many happy hours, picnic and was there at a moments notice when a neighbor needed her. We had lost touch these last few years and I hate that I missed her memorial. I would have been there! Just read of her passing on Facebook. Please know she was a special friend to me and I hope that she is in a happier place surrounded by cats and a few of my rum cakes.

We've known Ruth since our Navy days in Charleston (late 80s-early 90s). She was a force within our friend group! We were all invincible then--these were the best times as they were the family we chose for that time of our lives. We will miss her dearly and remember her sense of humor/sarcasm with great fondness. Our condolences to the family.

A former coworker, I miss her funny, sarcastic sense of humor. She was so easy to like, to just be around. She loved animals and worked to help so many of them. She is missed by her coworkers, friends and family.
