I was a work colleague of Ruths at Chubb/ACM. She was the most delightful lady to work with. She was always punctual and precise in all operations of the company. We were thrilled when Ruth and Cliff visited us in Blenheim on their tour of the South Island in 2014. Kindest regards to her loving family. Sharon Fowles and Gary Hooper
