Ruth was the receptionist at Skylawn for many, many years. She had a very quirky personality and was loved by all. She arranged many social events. There was the very poplar Puffer memorial service. Puffer was a fish in the aquarium in the reception area that Ruth befriended and after his death she arranged memorial services for many years. The San Mateo Times ran an article on this unique event.
Other events included founding the “On The Hill” chapter of the Red Hat Ladies and the coffee club at Skylawn.
Ruth and her twin sister, Nancy, could be spotted at the 4th of July Parade wearing identical patriotic outfits and sipping Margaritas at Milagros. Nancy and Ruth disagreed on everything but they enjoyed dressing up.
Ruth had a life before Skylawn, but we didn’t know a lot about it, other than it was interesting. Her fun spirit lives on in those that knew her.
