Santos, Ruth Ann (Tacchella)

Henrietta: At age 67 went gently to the Lord on Wednesday morning September 23rd following a courageous 33 month battle with cancer. She is predeceased by her parents, Joseph and Mafalda (Gennari) Tacchella; and her brother, Joseph Tacchella Jr. all of RI. She is survived by her husband of 43 years, Dean Santos; her children, Luke Santos, Keri Santos and Krista (Michael) Grevell; and her grandchildren, Nathaniel Bellavia and Kennedy Grace Grevell.

Ruth was a woman of great faith, passionate about her family and about life. She is remembered by many for her warm smile, open arms and irrepressible spirit. She loved to sew and quilt but mostly loved to chat and socialize amidst the fabrics and colors as a member of both the Genesee Valley Quilt Club and the Henrietta Quilt Club. Sign language interpreters will be available during calling hours and the church service.
