Ruth
June 15, 1913 - January 4, 2012

I will remember her for her constant ability to think of others and her always present and fantastic sense of humor.

Grandma, you will most certainly be missed by all who knew you.

She fell last week and before a decision had to be made about whether or not she had to be moved from her room and into nursing care, she slipped in her vitals a couple of days ago and fell asleep in bed. We all got to say our goodbyes and she got to die in her own bed, in her sleep. It really couldn't have been any better than that.



Many of you will remember these photos...
My hilarious grandma:





My grandma with her magnifying glass upgrade my parents got her for Christmas a couple years ago.



Grandma having fun at our fondue party.



Grandma talking smack at gingerbread house decorating. No matter how little effort her son put into pumpkin carving or gingerbread decorating, she always insisted his was the best and the rest of us were losing to him.



Grandma being grandma.



Grandma with her three boys at her 94th birthday party. When she saw the photo on the cake she exclaimed "I had smallpox when that was taken!"
