The family of Ruth Lundblade, 80, announces her passing, and invites all who knew her to remember her here.
These pages are a small offering toward a much larger life.
Ruth's story began in 1939, and unfolded across the years that followed.
Ruth spent her working life as ['the Home Cafe before moving to Milwaukee', 'the Mary Jane Shoe Store', 'many years at the Forrest Hills County Club in Rockford'] — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
The slow accumulation of a full life leaves much to remember and much to learn from.
