She was a member of Quincy, Massachusetts Covenant Church, a long-time reader of Pietisten, and a true pietist.http://www.pietisten.org/spring01/holbrooktribute.htmlhttp://www.pietisten.org/spring01/holbrooktribute.htmlRuth was not one for sentimental talk. She disdained tears she sensed were not authentic but she responded with love and generosity to those in need or in pain. She was a person with a tough mind and a tender heart. We hope this poem portrays her spirit and liveliness.
