Ruth was a memorable character with a huge heart and personality. When I first interviewed her at Lakeside House, we found we had much in common, both being Pennsylvania girls. When I noticed she had graduated from East Stroudsburg Univ., my alma mater, I knew I had no choice but to hire her.
As a member of the Lakeside House team, she was willing and able to take on any shift, any task, any resident. She worked tirelessly and, although the residents quickly began calling her “Sarge”, they respected her and came to count on her kindness and direction. As a friend, I found Ruth to be loyal and true. I loved talking to her about growing up in PA, her dog Baron, and the love she had for her family and friends. A great soul, much missed!
