I have known Ruth since 1991. She was a "gentle woman"; kind thoughtful, intelligent and generous. She raised three wonderful sons. Thursdays at 10 will never be the same. She is, and will be, missed. RIP Ruth, enjoy the view!

I have worked with Carolyn Dalgity for 16 years. Sometimes we end up with favorite patients - Ruth was one of those. She was my most favorite little old lady. I convinced her that you need 4 hugs a day to survive and took advantage of those hugs each time I saw her. I am sure she is hanging up there with her dear friend, Elizabeth Smith having a grand ole time! I will miss you!

In my short time with Dr. Dalgity I came to know Ruth. She was such a lovely and kind lady. She will be greatly missed.
