Ruthie was well versed in politics, sports, classical music- she had a real affinity for Ravel’s “Bolero” (loudly on Sunday mornings). Professionally Ruthie was an Executive Legal Assistant. She worked for the Kaye Scholer law firm for 24 years before her retirement in 2009. Ruthie lived and loved life to the fullest. She charmed everyone with her infectious smile and big personality.
