I pray that Ruth’s path to Heaven was a peaceful journey. I had the pleasure of working with and learning from Ruth for many years at J.C.Penney. She has now been reunited with the love of her life, her husband Leo.
Ruth was a kind and happy person. She took care of everyone else. She was an inspiration and positive person. I hope you and Leo are dancing on the gold streets of heaven!
