Beloved Ruth Pass, born in Ashland, Wisconsin, passed peacefully in her sleep in Sacramento, California, on March 1, 2023. She was the beloved wife to James Joseph Pass who preceded her in death; both devout Catholics, and mother to six children. She loved the outdoors and traveling, gardening and reading, and she enjoyed the company of her family and friends in any setting. She was a registered Nurse for 42 years. She was a blessing to all she knew and to all she helped nurse back to health. Her presence in our lives was a joy, and she is sorely missed. She is survived by her remaining children, relatives, and friends. To all who knew her and shared her life and adventures, we extend our condolences. Your compassion is appreciated at this time. Vigil/ Rosary will be March 16th, 6 – 8 pm at Calvary Cemetery and Funeral Center, Citrus Heights. Funeral will be March 17th, 10:30 am, at St. Lawrence Church, North Highlands.
