Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Miss Lindamood was my teacher at Murdock Elementary School when I was in 2nd grade (1958). I have always remembered my time at Murdock with great fondness. It was a special group of teachers and principal James Stranathan was wonderful as well. She taught with many other wonderful teachers including Fannie Kitts, Evelyn Houck,and Clara Beltz are the other names I recall.
Ruth was a special friend of mine through Kappa Kappa Iota Teachers’ Organization. She was so gracious and I will miss her sweet smile. Blessings to her family. June Moore, PSP Gamma (KS).
