I am so sorry to hear about Ruth's passing.  Ruth was so special to me and I always thought of her as a sister during the years I was in the family and the years since.  I loved her very much and my heart goes out to Jim , JR, Nancy, Karen, Chuck , and their families.  
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers now and in the days ahead.
Love, Sandy Fox

You will be missed by all of us. No one could love you more than this family,
You were one of a kind. One of the things that will always stand out in my mind ,is when you took me to the store to pick out my birthday card. You let me read,then put it back on the shelf, instead of buying it.you told me there was no need to spend the money,since I was only going to read it and throw it away afterwards. This way you read what my card had to say. Don’t know how you always thought of these unique ideas. We love you aunt Ruth.you will forever be in our hearts ❤️🙏

Rest In Peace, Grandma Ruth. I’ll never forgot all the fun adventures I got to have with my cousins and you and Grandpa. Thank you for your love and support and for passing on your sassiness to Cross/Martin generations to come. ❤️

So many memories of summer trips on the Road to National Parks - chasing a bear through the woods in Canada, just to get a picture of it, spitting her dentures out on the table to scare us, and so many more.  She was an iconic lady and will live on in our hearts.  Condolences to all. 💕

Aunt Ruth and family, I have so many wonderful and funny memories of growing  up and being your 5th child! I can't even begin.. Thank you also for inspiring me to be an RN , all those msg magazines you had, I devoured reading them as a teenager, little did I know that would be my future! All the fun times in Vegas gambling! I loved you so much! Enjoy your reunion in Heaven with your family... Until I see you again hugs and love to my Cousins and Uncle Jim, Valerie Gail

Rest in peace Aunt Ruth, I shall always cherish the many memories I have of you, all my love to the family at this time.
