She died at the assisted living facility, Traverse Manor - Fritz died there too. Mary said the staff at Traverse Manor has been marvelous in every way.
Rick called also to let me know of Ruth's death, It feels like the end of an era. The only member of my Mother's immediate family who is still living is her sister Aunt Eleanor, who has lived in California for years and years.
The death notice lists her as Ruth Caroline Geib - her maiden name is Hintz. I think that's important, too.
Geib, Ruth Caroline
