A lifetime Norwood resident Mom cherished her childhood memories growing up on Warren St, sledding, skating and walking to school at St. Catherine's. Her second home was Sandwich where summers were spent at the beach with her sisters; Pat, Rosemary and Claire and all of the kids in tow. She never missed a hockey or soccer game with the grandchildren even though she was always cold.
Ruth's joyful presence will be missed dearly but we take comfort that she is with Buddy again. Save a spot for us Mom. All services and burial will be private. Arrangements by the Kraw-Kornack Funeral Home Norwood, MA. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in her name to the Alzheimer's Association 309 Waverley Oaks Road Waltham, MA 02452.
