It was also open, upbeat, realistic and at times funny. It was perfect. RuthAnn’s strength, faith, and positive attitude reminds people about the control and power a person can have during difficult times.
I cannot recommend her to you highly enough. If you are looking for a breast cancer survivor who can touch everyone, look no further.”

Our faculty and staff continued to bestow well deserved accolades upon her well after the close of our professional day activities.”
