I grieve the loss of Ruthanne with all her many friends and family. I was privileged to have her guidance through the Instructional Methods course, and benefited greatly from her skilled, individualized, yet warm approach. Ruthanne was always upbeat and encouraging. She provided a tough curriculum that has proved to be one of my most useful skills and some of my most favorite memories of the CU NTPD program. She will be greatly missed.

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Ruthanne. She was a dear friend and we shared many fun times while living in Utah. She was a very caring person and dearly loved her family. She will be missed but always remembered.

I taught Ruthanne when she was a student in our Pharm.D. program at The University of Texas. I remember her as a delightful individual. Not only was she intelligent and a skilled clinician, she was a caring person. I will always remember the smile she had on her face.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. While I never met Dr. Ramsey in person, I was her student during a very difficult passage in my personal life and found her understanding and compassion for my circumstances to be personally sustaining. Your loss is shared by all the students at UC Denver who have had the good fortune to be her student as well as those to come who will never have the benefit of her guidance. May God bless her soul and offer you comfort as you travel through your personal journeys of grief.

Dear Ramsey Family:

I am so sorry and devastated to hear that Dr. Ramsey passed away.

Deeply saddened to hear the news. May God rest Dr Ruthanne Ramsey's soul in eternal peace, and may the family find courage and solace by His grace, Amen.

Though I did not have the pleasure of meeting her, Dr Ramsay was a great lecturer and inspired us to excel in the Instructional methods course by her simple, upbeat and motivating lectures.

I received the news of Dr Ruthanne Ramsey's death with sadness. She was a kind and caring educator who had a great passion for teaching. I was one of her students. Life is a journey that could be short or long. May almighty and merciful God give her family the fortitude to bear this tragic loss.
