Rest easy my dear friend. You genuinely loved life and lived it at a pace few of us could match. My deepest condolences to Ruth Ann's entire family. She spoke so often of her love and pride for all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I knew Ruth Ann through Mainstage, and she was one of the few people in my life who always made me feel so appreciated and accomplished. Costume World will never be the same. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Our deepest sympathies are with you all during this difficult time. My children have very fond memories of Mrs. Minnick during their time at Bells, and as the steadfast cheerleader at every soccer game. She will truly be missed by many. We are so very sorry for you loss.

Ruth Ann dedicated so many years to making Mainstage what it is today. Her costumes were beautiful, but what Summer Stage “kids” and staff members will remember is the energy she brought to her work and the light and laughter she brought to our lives.
I was fortunate to have worked with her just a few months ago during the 25th anniversary show and celebration. I am grateful for the moments I shared with her this summer. I was standing next to her when she saw a slideshow I made for the performance (though I don’t think she knew I made it) and I got to see her smile when she saw pictures of herself in it. During one of the day performances, Ruth Ann dressed my 3 year-old daughter in a princess hat/wand and “poof” my little one was transformed into a princess. Ruth Ann played with my little, newly minted princess--instructing her on proper wand techniques and magic words. A simple costume transformed her… a gift Ruth Ann gave to kids for 25 years.
At the end of every season we sing, “To Fill the World with Love.” In the words of that song: Ruth Ann was brave. She was strong. She was true. She filled the world with love her whole life through. Thank you for sharing her with us. She will be missed.

My condolences to all the members of the Minnick family on Ruth Ann's passing. I was fortunate to have known her for many years through Mainstage Center for the Arts. She always wore a smile, was very generous with her time and talents and was always willing to share a kind word. She truly touched the lives of so many children involved with the program. I hope all of you can take some comfort in the happy memories of the years and good times spent with Ruth Ann.

I am so sorry about your loss. Mrs. Minnick was so beautiful and my Mom loved their trips to McDonalds at least once a month. Her smile and laugh always put a smile on my face. She always smelled so good and I remember looking at her thinking her skin is so smooth and how does she get her lipstick so perfect. Every time I am in a store and see Santa statues I always think of her collection. She was such a huge part of my parents life especially my Mom she will always in all of hearts forever!

"We concentrate not on what is seen, but on what is not seen, since things seen are temporary, but things not seen are eternal."
"What is death? Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room, and I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other then, that we are still. Speak to me in the easy way that you always used, laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together, let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Life means all that it ever meant; there's absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I'm out of sight? I am waiting for you, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well."
With loving thoughts and heartfelt prayers, we remember what was, rejoice in what will be, and take comfort in one another.
In Loving Memory of My Dear Aunt Ruthie,

Ruth was my vice-president in Spotliters. I never met a more hard working, loving, dedicated individual. She came every time we worked to build a set or work on costumes. She was a selfless, devoted mother and wife. With determination, love and humor she ran at life headlong. She was a source of confidence and support to me and to everyone who knew her. She really was as Ruth of biblical re-known, a "woman of valor". My deep condolences to her family. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

To the Minnick Family,
My son and I are so sorry to hear of the passing of Ruth. I worked with Ruth on the Blackwood Pumpkin Festival for several years and everytime I saw her she had a smile on her face and a idea in her head. My son Anthony was part of Mainstage Center for the Arts and Ruth was responsible for many of the costumes he wore (his favorite was the year he was the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz) - the costume room will never be the same with out Ruth.
When you lose someone you love, you gain an angel you know.

Ruth Ann was my cousin. I feel very sad that she had to leave her family when she was so young and vital and loved her family. But she is in a much better place now, and I am happy about that. My love to her husband, Norman, and their three boys, and their grandchildren. When I married in 1950, Ruth Ann was my sweet Flower Girl. Betsy Scott Fitzmeyer.
