    Ruth was truly a delight. Everyone working at Heather Glen knew her as president Ruth because she acted as just that. Sweetest soul, always found a way to make us laugh. She will be missed immensely, sending my prayers❤️

    Anita & family, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your mother, Ruth. It was always a delight to see her at Heather Glen. I know my mother, Kathryn Helffrich, enjoyed sharing the centenarian spotlight with her.
