Doris Faye Ruddy, 73, died April 21, 2014.
She found beauty in everything — even in her garden weeds that became wildflowers under her loving care. She said that when she was surrounded by things she loved, she was surrounded by beauty. That’s how we will always remember her — beautiful.
She is survived by her brother, Doug Merchant, of Crownsvillle, Md.; friend, Archie Saunders; children, Nora Battey Huffman, Dori Bailey King, Debra Ruddy Iglesias and Paul Ruddy; grandchildren, Mark Huffman, Heather Candela, Christina Pineault, Santana Lee Iglesias, Crystal Howard, Joshua Ruddy, Erik Miller, Michael Ruddy, Brittney Ruddy and Robert Ruddy; great-grandsons, Joseph Candela and Noah, Caleb and Luke Pineault.
The family will hold a private service, and its wish is that all who knew her will always remember her.
