I had the very distinct pleasure of meeting Ruth around 1972 when I was a young teenager. I worked summers with her at Tobey's Bakery on Lake Street in Elmira until 1975-ish, then occasionally at Tobe's Bake Shop in Watkins Glen until around 1978.
She was such a beautiful woman with the patience of a saint and always chewing on a little piece of gum. I was often amazed at how, even at 3:30 in the morning, her eyes would just sparkle when she flashed that "all-knowing" grin. Ruth was certainly a positive influence in my young life and I will not forget her.
Vinceeni.. I offer you from my heart, my deepest sympathy and condolence, to you especially, and to your family. Your Mom was such a wonderful woman, and I know my life was made better by knowing her. Thank you Ruthie and God bless you.
