Gary would remember this, a few of us boys were sneeking out one night as kids to go hang out and cruise around somewhere. I went in the front door (not locked in those days) and crawled down the hallway to Garys room to get him, then we both crawled back down the hallway and out the door. All the time Mrs Welter, lying on the couch and watching everything we were doing quickly notified our parents as to what we were up to. So as a result, they were waiting for us when we got home a few hours later. Boy were we in deep trouble! We got what we deserved. All my memories of her was that she was a very nice lady. Im very sorry for the familys great loss.

I'm so sorry that I can't be there for the funeral. I can't think of anyone more fun that Ruth! I loved taking classes with her from Fran Hugo out on the Island, and she became a gorgeous artist in her own right. And she was always good for a laugh. I didn't have much chance to see her in later years, but upon parting, she would always say, "Glad you got the chance to see me!" Love it! Yes, Ruth, we all were lucky to see and know you, and we will miss you so much!

One of the last things my aunt said to me was she wanted to see her mother. Well, Mary Ruth, you are there now, along with Mom, Uncle Wiley, Dad, Dave, and a whole lot of others. And I'll bet you are all having a great time. I will miss you forever.
She was such a funny lady loved her humor. She always had a smile. One beautiful woman. She is now at peace. So sorry for your loss
Too many great memories of "Mrs. Welter", then she became Mary Ruth. But the most memorable-Her awesome bubbly strong personality. Gotta love her.
