Sutherland was a wonderful and kind lady. I worked with her at Lightning Rod in the late 70s early 80s.
I have no idea why it changed Ruthella to Sutherland. But, I do send my condolences to the family.
My mom, Shirley Gray Yund, & Ruthella were co workers a very, very, long time ago. I know they remained friends over the years. They may have even had a card club together. My sincere sympathies to the family.
Greg, Don, Jeff, Ken & families, I have been thinking of you since learning of Mom’s passing. She was a wonderful lady and I am blessed to have many special memories of her. She truly loved her family. I will always remember her kindness, her smile and laugh. Supportive hugs to all of you!
