My deepest sympathy to the family of Ruth. I visited her at home many times and we enjoyed sharing plants and stories. I learned more than a few gardening tricks from her! At the time I was Pastoral Minister at St. Cecelia Catholic Church. May she rest in peace in God's beautiful garden.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Ruth's entire extended family. Having grown-up in Algona, I have many fond memories of numerous Cub Scout meetings in the Thuente home. I couldn't wait for snack time, as Mrs. Thuente always had home-made cookies, brownies and cake ready for the hungry Pack! I hope all of your fond memories keep Ruth alive in your hearts forever! Sincerely, Todd M. Miller

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of the Thuente family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am sure that your mom is making her mark in heaven! I have wonderful memories of Ruth. She was like a second mom to me as Kim and I grew up together.
