Condolence: Our hearts go out to all of you for the loss of your Mother and Grandmother Ruth. She was a wonderful woman.

Condolence: My heart goes out to all the family of Ruth Smith. The short time that I got to know her was a blessing. She was a beautiful woman with a tremendous amount of wisdom. I learned a lot about life from her and that knowledge I will always treasure and carry with me forever.

With my sincere sympathy,
Gerry Amato

Condolence: We so love & loved Ruth for how she held her family & friends so near & dear. We knew Ruth through our church in Yakima and Lake Oswego. She was always speaking with such love about her children and grandchildren. Ruth was everone's mother and I don't believe we ever heard one discouraging report ever come past her lips. You could always count on Ruth's perspective being strong and full of faith. She was a worshiper of God, a naturally musical gift of God. She knew how to draw on the presence of God in both prayer and in worship and was thus a ministry of healing in His temple. I am sure many a life were saved just through Ruth's faith and love represented in her smile and twinkle in her eyes. We are so blessed by God to have been in Ruth's life,...accounted for by Ruth herself as one of her own. She made us feel like
We were one of her own....and that "feel of her love" will never depart from us. It was God's kind intent to have us experience His all encompassing Love through such an awesome Mother as Ruth. Thank you Father for enriching our lives so deeply through the joy and love we received through your humble servant.

Condolence: Our deepest condolences to You Jetta and your family, your Mother was a truly amazing person even though I only got to know her for the last few months of her life, she truly touched my heart in so many ways, Our hearts and prayers go out to you all. Your precious angel now shines over each and everyone of you.
