    Heartfelt condolences to the entire Taylor family for the loss of Ruth. I will treasure our long phone conversation and all her words of wisdom and encouragement after we purchased her property. I wish my entire family could have met her in person. God bless.

    Karen, Cathy, Judy, Roger-

    So very sorry to hear of your moms passing. I remember the fun times we had when visiting Uncle Garnet & Aunt Gertie’s place when your mom & dad were there – your mom had such a great laugh & enjoyed the visit. Also she was such a great cook and loved her gardens. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. Barbara Taylor

    As a good friend of Marj Taylor (RIP), I knew her mother Ruth quite well. She was a lovely person – so kind, always welcoming and full of life. She took such great joy in her children, baking and in her extensive doll collection. I will always remember her easy and frequent laughter that made the Taylor home such a happy place to visit. My sincere condolences to the family. Ruth made a big and lasting impression on so many.
