A Diasporan Mormon's Life: Essays of Remembrance. By Robert S. Jordan
Ruth was a dear and loving friend and neighbor. On several occasions I sat with her as she cross stitched some beautiful pillows for her son and his bride to be. She expressed on several occasions how she appreciated her children.
It was a pleasure to be in her presence and it was inspiring to see how she bravely and graciously accepted her life in spite of illness. She did all she could to make a contribution to others. I feel my life was enriched by knowing her.
Love to all her dear ones. Margy Andersen Clements
