Mason; In August of 1997, husband (John Mets) seemed to be so confused from Alzheimer's disease that he was admitted to a closed unit in Valley Manor nursing home in Tucson. While he was there for two months, Mom could not be consoled, so at the end of October, Terry, Carol & Vicky went to Tucson and helped her move to Bluefield Care Home in Tucson where both she and Dad could be in the same room. Dad was much more comfortable, had better medical care and "Mama" was right by his side until he died. She had been such a devoted wife during their marriage and was so sacrificing, tender and strong during the last eight years that Dad suffered from dementia.
TRIBUTE: The Daily Dispatch, 23 Jun 1975; "The Sand Trap" by Billie Jay; Douglas Golf Club; EXTRACT: Ruth Mason has long been a dedicated member of the women golfers. She has held all offices, served as chairwoman of every committee and Ruth has always accepted any job given to her and done it so beautifully that it is extremely difficult to follow in her footsteps.
Ruth carries a low golf handicap and is always a competitive golfer striving not only to improve hew own game but encouraging each of us to do the same. I think Ruth would rather win a "speck" than win the hole, and she can be seen with her tape measure making sure of a short or long distance on the green.
Ruth is an artist in anything she does - decorating, sewing, painting, planning table decorations or designing favors. She is an avid bridge player and will play on a moments notice. She enjoys bird watching and probably knows the names and habits of more birds than any other bird watcher in Douglas.
Ruth is married to Jack Mason and they have one son, Terry, who lives with his wife Carol and two children Vicky and Tim in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.DEATH: A poem:
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
She's gone! her spirit's gone,
Upward on angel pinion borne;
She's gone, to mingle with the blest
In Heaven, her everlasting rest.
Weep not for her, ye family dear,
Though she has gone and left you here;
Though it gives you pain,
Your loss in her eternal gain.
Thou, bowed with care;
Remember thou canst meet her there.
Though long her life, her work was done,
And Death has claimed her as his own;
But death was to this noble mom,
The portals of eternal joy.
