Ruth Elizabeth Raper Obituary

Hello Myrna, I intended to attend your Mother's funeral but due to a
conflict, was unable to. My Husband (deceased) and I appreciated both your
Parents when we transacted the purchase of their home at 333 E. Bakerview
Rd. and they moved to the Marine Drive location. They were both wonderful
individuals. I'm so sorry I didn't know Ruth was spending her last days
at Spring Creek because I would have tried to visit her.

I'm sending my sincere sympathy to You and Your Entire Family for the recent loss of your Mom and Dad in 1997, two very fine people.

With Kindest Regards,

Peggy J. Hinton

Hi Mryna, I used to enjoy visiting with your Mom when she would walk down Alderwood past my house and when I'd see her in her yard as I was on one of my walks up Alderwood. She was always fun & upbeat and we'd laugh about what we were finding growing in our yards. I drove up Alderwood just a couple of weekends ago and thought about your Mom when I drove past her house. She will always have a special place in my heart. I'm glad you had all those special years together!

Myrna, Sorry to hear about your mom having passed away. Although I didn't know her well, I thought of her as being a very dignified but a somewhat shy woman. I knew and respected your dad. While growing up in the '50s my brother and I often played 'shipyard'. As the oldest, I got to pretend I was dad and brother Tom was always 'Cec'. It has been a pleasure knowing you and working with you these past years. I wish you all the very best.

Dear Myrna and Family,

I saw your mom was almost 97 years old!! It made me smile to think of that beautiful yard all those years, entirely perfected by your mother's love for gardening. A bit of that in our family, too! I still have fond memories of you and Tootsie, my favorite being the time you fell going UP the escalator at JC Penny with all those Christmas packages, your wig had fallen off and was covering your face

Dear Myrna and Family,

I saw your mom was almost 97 years old!! It made me smile to think of that beautiful yard all those years, entirely perfected by your mother's love for gardening. A bit of that in our family, too! I still have fond memories of you and Tootsie, my favorite being the time you fell going UP the escalator at JC Penny with all those Christmas packages, your wig had fallen off and was covering your face as you scrambled like a blind dog, knowing the top was coming soon You have 65 years of memories with your mom, believe me, those memories will warm your heart. You will find you miss her more as the years go by. My prayers are with you and your wonderful family, Myrna.

Always a friend, Pam Jansen Pattison
