Ruth was always so pleasant whenever you met her at the store or out. After my Mom (RuthTaylor) passed , I met Ruth and she said how on her birthday, my Mom was always the very first call she would receive on her Birthday calling her with birthday wishes. I laughed as I remember my Mom calling me into her bedroom really early one morning, she was too sick to go to the phone, I had to dial a number, Mom had memorized and hand her the phone. It was Ruth’s birthday. It was the last birthday call my mother made. I didn’t know until then that call meant so much to Ruth. She said my Mom never missed her birthday and would tell stories for she was little and my mom babysat her. Stories of my grandmother, Sadie Nice and Edna Adams being cousins and the things they got up to. Always a laugh! It meant a lot to my mother to have a baby named after her.....it also meant a lot to Ruth that my Mom called her whole life on her birthday.
