In Memory of Ruth Leinau

Ruth Leinau
January 28, 1917 –  April 17, 2015
Member of the NSOC Branch

The brightest of smiles—the bluest of eyes—the charm and utter pleasure that she always showed when you arrived at her door.  These were always such a part of Ruth Leinau that, like the Pied Piper, we wanted to be near her and listen to her stories with such an outpouring of joy.  Beauty was such a part of her—the flowers she loved to arrange—and the decorations in her home were always something we looked forward to admiring.

Entertaining was a delightful event at Ruth's.  "I'm just having a few good friends and family—will you join us?"  Who would dare miss it?  The See's candy and Harry & David gourmet nuts and warm brie and, of course, champagne.

At one time she graciously accepted the presidency of the North Shore Outdoor Circle—and what a wonderful time we had!  Special lunch meetings, light refreshments at the Proud Peacock once a month, interesting guest speakers—and always well attended.

Ruth will be remembered and loved by all ages as she was just as comfortable with the younger members as she was with her peers.  Ninety eight years of age was so easy for our lovely lady.  She blended into the age of exceptional women, a marvelous volunteer with the charm and beauty of spirit and gentility.

In her honor donations will be accepted by the NSOC. P.O. Box 1011, Haleiwa, HI 96712.
