Aunt Ruth was such a loving person. I will always remember her big smiles and hugs. I enjoyed all the Zeller get togethers that were hosted in her and Uncle Arthur's home. She always liked to share her family photos with everyone. What wonderful memories and fun times. She will be greatly missed.

She was a wonderful person with a great laugh. I loved going to her house as a child as there was always something going on that was entertaining. She made her husband , Uncle Arthur, a happy man in their long marriage. She will be missed.
