I remember Ruth Stewart when she lived in Owatonna -- she and my mother were good friends. In fact, when my sister was married in 1974, Ruth opened her home to my uncles, aunts, and cousins from Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee -- and she went out of town for the week. It was a generous gesture -- my mother was very ill and could not have had company in her home (she died two weeks later). I know my mother appreciated Ruth's generosity and sacrifice. I'm glad to know that she lived such a long and valued life.
My sympathies to the Stewarts.
