I worked with Ruth at Advocate Health Partners and she was always such a joy to be around. She mentioned her family often and she was so extremely proud of her children and grandchildren. Her sweet face may have misled you to thinking she was always sweet, but you soon found out that Ruthie told it like it was : ) I'll miss both her candor and her sweet face. My sincerest condolences to her family.

Ruth was a dear, sweet lady. I use to love saying Hello to her when we worked together. She would always talk about her family so I hope you all feel the love that I felt when she would share stories about all of you.

You all have my prayers of comfort during this difficult time.

Ruth and I worked at Advocate Health Partners. She was a great friend and I will miss her. She had a great love of her family especially her nephews and would share her stories about their military careers.

I had the good fortune of getting to know Ruth over the course of the past six months at the Irish American Heritage Center. Her unbridled joy and quick wit made every day I spent with her memorable. Her laughter was infectious and the mischievous fire burning behind her eyes kept everyone on their toes. Her presence will be sorely missed.
