ess Center and for Meals on Wheels. Ruth loved working as the answering service for the North Central Veterinary Clinic and thought of Brian and the staff as family. Ruth enjoyed her family, reading, crocheting, crossword puzzles and her doll collection. She was known for her wonderful sense of humor, caring manner, and easy going approach to life. She loved helping others. Ruth will be missed by her daughter Cathy; son Gary (Donna); grandchildren Hilary (Justin) and Dylan (Anna); four great-grandchildren; and her many friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, mother, father, step-father, brother, sister-in-law, and several nieces and nephews. The family wishes to give a special thank you to the wonderful and caring staff at the Dumont Wellness Center. Ruth loved you all. Memorials may be made to the Dumont Library or the New Hope Parish of the United Methodist Church - Dumont Center.
