I want to send my condolences. I first met Ruth at a parent-teacher's conference in Brillion, WI. I had Eric and Brian in my Ag classes. Knowing the boys' story and having two adopted daughters myself, I expressed my admiration of the job she did raising the boys. I remember telling the principal that Eric should teach a class on "how to be comfortable talking to girls". He had every girl i school smiling ad saying 'Hi"! I hope life is going great for Brian and Eric.
Again, my sympathies,

I so admire Ruth's sense of family. She would do anything for anyone, and wanted everything to be just perfect. I was very envious of her craft room and the beautiful cards she made. Each time I would visit Vicky, she would take the time to fix up the guest room for me, and put all her special touches on it, to make me feel so welcome. I always felt at home with the Smucker family. She will be missed dearly, but I have many fond memories to keep me going. Love you, Ruth! Lynne Tuttle
Ruthie was the first member of the Smucker family that I met after meeting my husband-to -be, Phil Smucker. I was a bit nervous to meet the family. There were so many. Ruth hugged me and within 5 min I felt I was home.
From then own I knew I had another sister. She was so kind, loving, and wise. I'm still drawing strength from her words. She and Ted were with me when my Phil proposed, when he became ill, and when he passed away. Through the first year of his death she and Ted would drive down to Georgia from Ohio... although she herself was sick. When she left she would have hidden little encouraging notes all over my house...in funny little places... I found one just a over a month ago. I saved all my encouraging notes to reread.
She had such a way of speaking truth and wisdom that just made sense.... I can still hear her words. She always spoke so kindly and lovingly of everyone. The glass was always half full.
Ruth blessed me in so many ways. I am a better person because God brought Ruth into
my life.
Lovingly,
Toni Smucker
