Condolence: My condolences to the Auer and Smeeding family. Ruth was a special woman who brought joy to many lives. She touched my heart with her kind words and open mind. She always had a kind word to say and words of encouragement to empower and make you feel special. I am grateful to have crossed paths with her and will always remember “Aunt Ruth”.

Condolence: Sincere condolences to Ruth's family. She was my boss, friend, tennis and golf friend. I looked forward each year for about 30 years to her "wonderful" Christmas card that she wrote and illustrated. Her kindness of spirit and friendship will be missed by everyone.
