Obituary for MCGUIRE


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Monday April 23, 2007

RUTH E. Ruthie returned to heaven on April 16, 2007. She is survived by a son, Gene Pennington; daughter, Brenda Ostertag and husband, Daniel; daughter, Maryann Wersonick and husband, David Laurie; granddaughter, Jennifer Bernard; and two great-granddaughters, Stevie and Caitlin, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was a co-founder for the Association for Education of Handicapped Children here in New Mexico and was a lady locksmith for 27 years at Duke City Lock and Key. She was a devoted and loving wife and mother, confidant and loyal friend to many. She was an avid writer of poetry and songs that poured from her gentle heart. She always had a smile and a kind word. She wished to be remembered for her immeasurable sense of humor and generous heart that brought joy and smiles to so many more than she realized. We who were blessed to know her will cherish her memory in our hearts, and she will walk in our souls forever. Memorial Service and Mass is on April 27, 2007 5:30 p.m. at Queen Of Heaven. In lieu of flowers, please donate to St Jude's Children's Hospital.
