  2. We were very sad to hear about Aunt Ruth's passing. 59 grand and great grandchildren is such an amazing testament to the love she had for her family. Steve and Anita Martucio

Aunt Ruthie was so special to me...She always had stories about my Dad and she really brought him to life to me as a child and young adult in ways he never shared,(good and bad).
