Ruth is much missed by all her friends at The Sportsmen's Lodge Hotel. Our breakfast group was honored to be able to share breakfast with Miss Ruth several times a week, to talk of our love of travel, her life experiences & to laugh at her jokes each morning. Ruth was a great joy to us!

I had the honor to work with Ruth at Hollywood HS before she retired. She was a very dedicated counselor who inspired me to become a counselor.She was a very compassionate Jewish woman who knew how to guide the youth who entered Hollywood HS.
