My condolences to Ruth Nelson's family. While I was a student at Lock Haven, Ruth was a truly beloved house mother at Russell Hall on campus.
I was so sorry to learn of her passing.
She will long be remembered for her untold and many kindnesses to students who were in crisis, those who dealt with personal hardships or who just were homesick during stressful semesters of study.
She was an important and positive influence in the lives of generations of students who attended during her years of service to Lock Haven State College and, later, Lock Haven University.
Rest in peace, Ruth.
