This fund has been established in memory of Ruth Rootenberg - a loving mother, sister, wife, grandmother, teacher and friend. After a short but aggressive battle with pancreatic cancer, Ruth sadly passed away peacefully in her home on April 17, 2023. If anyone woud like to make a donation in Ruth's memory, we would greatly appreciate it.
