those dealing with mental health, making sure they knew their rights and had access to the help they
needed. Ruth was very creative, and demonstrated her creativity in everything she did from making gift
baskets to decorating her home. Entertaining family and friends was a passion of hers, and Ruth’s
Christmas Eve Open Houses were always looked forward to by all who attended.
