Ruth was a resident of Munster IN. and Calumet City, Il. She was a member of Saint Victor’s Parish. Saint Thomas Moore, and Saint Maria Goretti Church. She served on the Board of Directors of the Hospice of the Calumet area for over 35 years. She was a retired Registered Nurse, always ready to help others, and will be remembered as a great “Hugger.”
In her own words Ruth left behind this message: I spent my life learning and trying to love well those God sent into my life. She wanted to be a sign of hope to all – often she said, “I felt that I fell flat on my face.” Only at death now has she learned to love well (and allowed herself the gift of being loved).
