Dixie Lee, I remember your mother so well and what a wonderful person she was. I thank you for all the wonderful years we had together as we all lived on Washington Avenue. I remember when she worked for Dr. Binzel and also at the Downtown Drug. she was a beautiful lady and always treated everyone with kindness & love.
So sorry for your loss Thom and Vicki.
Your parents were great people Thom. Ruth lived a long life and I am sure she was a blessing to you both.
I’m praying for comfort during this time of loss.

“Ruthie,” as my father called her, was a wonderful lady. All of my recollections of being in Dad’s office include her. She would always take the time to engage you in conversation in the kindest fashion and ran Dad’s office with great efficiency. Dad could not have run his practice without her. I hope she knew how much he appreciated her. Tommy and Vicki, on behalf of the Binzel family, we mourn the passing of Ruthie, but we so appreciate her life and her years of dedication to our father.
Sending you hugs from the Binzels! Our dad loved your mom dearly and I don’t know of anyone else besides our mom who understood and trusted our dad as much! We all have wonderful memories of Dad’s “girl”, Ruthie! Kathy Binzel Bringardner, Gettysburg, PA
