Ruthann was a very caring person in her own way. She was a nice Grandma that always cared for us. Wherever she is, she is happy and young again. So, today is not a day of sadness, for it is a day of happiness for the good times for her life on earth. We all loved her and her memory will go on along with her dysfunctional relationship with her and Uncle Tracy’s 13-year old companion, Tigger!
Besides her parents, she was preceded her sister, Marjorie Armstrong.
