I'm sure I speak for all members of the Pulaski Academy Family when I say that Ruth was the heart and soul of that school. Her dedication to the children of the Bucktown community is one that was cherished. She will be missed but please know that her memory is alive in all of the children she worked with and the staff she assisted over the years.

God rest her soul!
