Obituary for PAGLIA


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday July 25, 2004

Ruth Genson Paglia was born July 1, 1920 and passed away July 17, 2004. The last chord of the earthly symphony has played for our beloved Ruth. She joins her parents, Leroy Genson and Marjorie Hawkins; her sister, Marge Ryan; her son, Hyrum Paglia; and her husband, Mario Paglia. Ruth is survived by her friend and daughter-in-law, Arlene Paglia; five grandchildren; five great-grandsons; two nieces; and her beloved cats, Plato, Pandora and Plinney. An independent, extraordinary woman, Ruth never lost her zest for learning or living. To honor Ruth's memory, adopt a pet, take a walk, marvel at our sky, the majesty of our mountains, and Eat Chocolate!
