Ruth was in the inaugural class of volunteers at Peninsula General Hospital where she served for over 25 years, touching many lives. She was our beloved mom, the center and grounding of our lives, always game for family adventures, known for her reassuring and easy smile and wink, her expertise at doing crossword puzzles, and for her great spaghetti sauce.

She is survived by four daughters, Jude Bromhall Brown and her husband, Frank, of Ocracoke Island, NC, Janis Bromhall Shores (Robert Freeman) of Delmar, MD, Joan Bromhall Kjeldsen of Salisbury, MD, and Jeanne Cullen of Ocracoke Island, NC.
