She was truly an integral part of our association. Her classes were well received and her benevolent nature always had her involved in an array of “Y” activities. An avid runner, Ruthie was symbolic of our mission. Her dedication to building a healthy Spirit, Mind and Body was exemplified in all she did. Ruthie conveyed this enthusiasm for life, to all who knew her. Because of this, it just seemed a proper tribute to rededicate our road race to Ruthie’s memory.
This event raises money each year for the children of our community. The funds raised benefit the Middletown School District Ruthie Dino-Marshall Memorial Fund and the YMCA of Middletown summer camp scholarship fund.
