My condolences is extended out to Lori, Nicole and Megan and the rest of Bunny’s family and loved ones. I have many childhood memories of Bunny but one thing that stands out the most is her love and adoration she had for her grandchildren , always ready to take them under her wing.
Also, can’t forget the many car rides to the skating rink, or the movie time on her big couch in the basement! Best neighbor ever!
What a wonderful soul! Rest Easy! I’m sure Blackie was waiting at heavens gate!

So very sorry to hear about Bunny. As long as Andy and I knew her from King Nummy Campground we never knew her name was Ruth. I can hear her loud laugh as I type this. We will miss saying hello and catching up with her. Take care. Terri and Andy Tally

MY prayers to the family, growning up on Lee Street we were all family and call her Aunt Bunny. I REMEMBER THE POOL PARTIES, COOK OUTS AND DRIVE In MOVIES. It broke so many hearts when Karen passed for so many reason. The pain your family has been threw saddens me but knowing the Bunny will not be alone in haven and will now be with love ones that have gone before her is comforting, may you find comfort in this as well. Prayers to all.
