Ruth was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She could be seen on her frequent walks in the neighborhood. There was always a wave and a smile. She was beautiful inside and out. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

Mrs. Mac was one of the nicest people that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. I looked at both Mr. Mac and Mrs. Mac as if they were part of my family growing up because that’s exactly how they made me (and all of their son’s friends) feel, like family. I will certainly miss seeing her walking around the neighborhood and always stopping to talk about anything and everything with me, my wife, and my daughter. May you forever rest in peace, you will always have a special place in my heart, and I will never forget you. Jay, Mike, and Joe - I love you all.
