This is my maternal grandmom Ruth. I lived with her for the first 24 years of my life (on the most part). The four grandkids lived with her and our mom until we moved out. The house is really both mom’s and ‘mom-mom’s’ house.

She helped me with many domestic things, like to add a pinch of baking soda and some sugar to spaghetti sauce to make it taste better and not be as acidity; to how to hold a crochet hook. She was the strong one in bad situations. She chased us with the yard stick for being naughty or saying bad words. Near the end, she was the one who cussed quite a bit. I guess she held it in all those years! ; ) She passed away on Father’s Day, June 16, 2000 with all of us around her, except for one grandson. She is missed every day.
