Ruth Vrooman Obituary

memories of my aunts at my 1960 wedding,my youthful years working with the Vroomans, Aunt Ruth visiting my mother, Dorothy, in Florida, and great fun with her sisters in Kalamazoo, Mich. God Bless Ruth and her Girls.

Ruth was a dynamic, independent minded , kind lady. I miss her spunky self. My heat felt condolences to Bonnie and her sisters and their families over the loss of their beloved Mother. She had a great sense of humor and a strong drive.
Love,

Thank you all for your kind words and memories of Ruth. It's nice to hear about other people's experiences with Mom.
My sisters wanted donations to be sent to the Assistance League of Colorado Springs and the Alzheimer's Foundation. By way of clarification, my Mother did not die from, or have, Alzheimer's.
She was at peace with her end-of-life decisions, and she remained her true self up to the end. She died the way she lived: on her own terms.
I was with her during her process of dying, and I miss her so much every day.
Mother loved her 40 years with the Assistance League.

My condolences to Mrs. Vrooman's faimily. I remember her being a very friendly and gracious lady while attending Palmer High with Sally.

My condolences to you, Sally. Reading the posts of some of our mutual friends, you had a wonderful Mom. Our prayers to you and your family.

Heaven becomes a better place weekly as the best of our parents generation join together for cocktails with the Lord.

Peace to all,

The world,now has an empty spot,where this Wonderful Woman,Ruth Vrooman occupied! My heart goes out to all the Vrooman girls and family! We all spent many of our days,at the ranch where we were welcomed with open arms! She was a magnificent 2nd Mother to me and others as well! Kind,generous,warm and loving! This is how i will always remember my friend,Ruth! Her laugh was genuine and whole hearted,makes me smile to remember "Everything" about this precious woman! Rest in peace,dear ruthie! Love to you girls!

I was raise by an extended family in Colorado Springs and one of the women who helped raise me Ruth. Those times out at the White House Ranch with the Vrooman extended family are some of my fondest childhood memories. Ruth was a very warm, gracious, funny, and had one of the best laughs on the planet. She was always ready for a good time and many times that was with her Valley family. I am very glad she touched my life and is a part of who I am. She will be missed. God be with her.

Our prayers go out to you, Sally, and your family for the loss of your dear Mother.

Love, Glenna and Denny Richter

from 1984 to 1996 i worked in downtown colorado springs, and was a frequent visitor at the assistance league's 'bargain box' thrift store. mrs. vrooman was a tireless volunteer there and cheerfully served every customer with dignity and respect. she soon discovered where i worked, and a few times she would phone me, at work, and informed me that there were some clothing items, in my large size, and she had taken the liberty to hold them for me. This was a a thrift store. she was a cheerful and diligent member of the community and her legacy of unselfishness and ciyic credentials, will be sadly missed. i hope that someone will take the mantle that ruth initiated and will continue that effort!

Your mother was one of the sweetest ladies I knew. I met her when I was five years old and then was reaquanted as an adult at King Soopers pharmacy where I worked. It was an absolute pleasure to know your mother. She always had a smile on her face. Always remember and treasure the good times.
