I think of Ruthy often.  She was such a joy to be a part of our "Cabot" group.  Miss you Ruth.

pat i am sorry to hear of ruth's passing.although we as neighbors never visted much she is going to be missed.  if  i can help you and hilary ,let me know. god bless you and your family

My heart is heavy indeed this night upon learning that my dear colleague of many years at Cabot has passed.  Ruth taught me many fundamentals of our trade that served me well over my career.  She was also a good natured friend with a kind heart,  an eager smile  and plenty of laughter!  She shared her love for Jesus and became radiant each time she spoke of her family, especially her beloved daughter, Hilary.  

My deepest sympathy Pat, Hilary and all of Ruth's family.  May God Carry you during your bereavement.

Ruth and I worked together on work and fun projects at Cabot Oil & Gas for several years. Her laugh and smile were precious, what a giving heart she had! We both shared a love of animals, especially cats and had a memorable trip one time to the SPCA to rescue some kittens!
I take comfort knowing she is in heaven. God blessed us with knowing you, Ruth, and you will be missed.

I am so thankful to the Lord for placing Pat, Ruth and Hilary in our life’s path 
Ruth is caring loving and a giving person
Always doing things for others
We will miss her beautiful smile and laugh 
So grateful she excepted Christ as her Lord and Savior 
We shall see her again in our glorified bodies 
Praise the Lord!!!



Ruthie and I worked together at Cabot for many years. We were on the Christmas party planning committee for several years and I have so many beautiful memories of our shared times together.  Her only daughter and my only son were the focus of so many of our conversations.  I loved her and will miss her free spirit and infectious laugh!   Rest In Peace my dear friend. 

I’m Carolyn Gay’s daughter and Charles Gay’s stepdaughter, both now deceased. I’m so very sorry to see this. I sure miss her infectious laughter and words of wisdom. She helped me through a lot of rough times with my mom, helped me see her from a different perspective. She had a wonderful way of teaching love and acceptance of others without choosing sides. I miss seeing her on mom’s back porch where they chatted for hours on end. Lord knows my mom looked forward to visits from Pat and Ruth more than anything else in her adult life. I know those two are surely reunited and having a wonderful time now. Praying for Pat, Hilary and the rest of the family. Love you guys

Pat And Ruth And i go way back, we were young and i was 18 and Ruth was 19. Ruth was so sweet and so genuine. She would literally give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. She was there for me when my son Juston was born. We truly had so many good times together. Wonderful person and such a good wife and an Awesome Mother. She was so good to me and always had a smile on her face. R.I.P. Ruth Cooper, I will always Love 💗 You And you will forever have a special place in my heart. God Bless you and be with you now. Much Love to you my friend and sister. Amen 🙏.

First and for most I'm so sorry to hear this news and that I couldn't be there ... ruth was my aunt forever growing up I had an aunt pat so ruth was always my uncle ruth and pat was my aunt ruth we all always laughed about it ... pat and ruth were here in ny few months back and my lil man who is 4 thought it would be funny to wake up uncle ruth by banging a pot it was video ... so was always a joy to be around and will be missed by many R.I.P. uncle RUTH until we meet again

We had a fun family dinner in Galveston at Joe’s Crab Shack June 14th,2019. We enjoyed all Aunt Ruth’s funny stories.  We miss you already! 

The very first time I met Ruth, was when I found out she had just had her baby girl Hilary. There was a pink stork sign in the front yard, so I took over a baby gift  The rest is history... we became the best of friends. God sure knew what he was doing when we crossed each other’s paths.  RIP MOMMA, I love you.
