Ruth dearly loved her family and always wanted the best for them.

Although Ruth went to Scottsdale, AZ for part of the winter Wyoming was always home to her. Her philanthropic giving included the betterment of the community and those in need who were less fortunate and education. "If you must bury something let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellowman. If by chance you wish to remember me do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked I will live forever." Excerpts from Robert N. Test "TO REMEMBER ME". If you choose, please make a contribution to disadvantaged children or Casper Humane Society. To all her friends who have been so thoughtful the family wishes to invite you to a Celebration of Life at her home - 4449 Freedom Circle on November 17, 4:00 pm. At Ruth's request there will be no other services or memorials.
