When I went to work today, I was truly shocked and saddened to find out of Ruth’s passing. She is an amazing lady. Young, kind, smart, helpful, and most of all sincere. All I can think of is that heaven needed another angel. So they called on Ruth to come home. May fond memories of happy times together, comfort us.

My condolences to Ruth's family. I had the privilege to meet Ruth at corporate sales office. Later, l learned she lived in the same neighborhood just a couple blocks away. Ruth was very kind, caring, supportive, and had such a genuine good spirit. She very intelligent, tech savvy, and definitely knew sports more than most including myself. She will certainly be missed. Prayers to her family and loved ones.

I met Ruth while working at Vaughn College. We were Co-workers at first and then became good friends.Ruth always had a great and giving spirit, which I always admired about her. She had love for her sports, which we shared, but most of all she loved her family deeply. Ruth I will dearly miss you.

I met Ruth 14 years ago when she started to work at the airport. She worked alongside me and learned the operation very fast and made great accomplishment. She became a friend, and she had humor and was funny and carried the shift through. It is extremely saddening to see her go so soon in the prime of her career and life. Just about two months ago we were talking, and she was extremely happy with her achievements and life at that point. She will be missed by everyone who had crossed path with her. May she give her mother & family the strength and courage to go on. May she be at peace and continue to share that contagious smile and warmth in heaven.

I first met Ruth when she started as a Duty Manager at JFK, and later we worked together as FSMs for many years. We worked on so many projects together, and she was always supportive, calm, and never hesitated to help—even when the workload was heavy. We had so much fun working together. Ruth brought humor and warmth into every conversation—whether we were talking about her family, the latest sports game, or just sharing a laugh. I’ll never forget the time we went to the IOC and had dinner at that Mexican restaurant, watching the waiter perform at our table—we laughed so much that night. When you talked to Ruth, she had a way of making you feel truly special and supported. Her kindness, patience, and quiet strength left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege to work with her. Ruth, you left us too soon. I will miss you deeply. Thank you for all the memories—you will always hold a special place in my heart.

Ruth will be truly missed. She was such a joy to work with and loved when I would bring in food. Especially the grape salad. She always spoke so fondly of her mom and brother and trips to Orlando. Her memory and humor will always be with me. My sincere condolences, Kevin

Ruth was one of the kindest people I encountered when working at One World. She always had a smile and was ready to help when needed! We would talk during our downtime and she became a good friend during my time at American. We kept in touch after I left for a new adventure and she was always ready with positive thoughts and infectious energy! Mrs. Santiago and Carlo, may you feel all the love and support surrounding you during this extremely difficult time. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Ruth will continue on in all she touched for we all are better people for having a moment with Ruth! All our love, Suzanne and Bob Nygard
