I just learned about Ruth´s passing, I knew the Powell family for over 35 year´s. Ruth´s son Sam worked at our facility for the Colorado National Guard where Sam and I were great friends. When Sammie got sick and retired I often stopped by at Ruth´s house and talked to her about Sammie´s progress over coffee. Brett and the rest of the Powell family I am sorry for your loss. I live in Cañon city now but the next time I´m in Fountain I will stop at the cemetery and say a prayer for the family. They were a great family and I miss all of them very much. god´s speed Ruth hope to meet you again someday. With love, Brad Cooper.

Ruth Powell was a loving mother and direct with her opinions, mostly positive. We lost not only a great woman but a little of our history in Fountain. My condolences to her family and friends.
