    I am Linda Doughty’s mom and have been to many gatherings over the years with Ruthie. She was such a sweet person! I most recently saw her at the funeral dinner of her good friend, Joanne Doughty. I went up and gave her a big hug and I am so glad I did because my last memory of her will be that lovely, smiling face!
