THEBrookside Bulletin

Resident of the Month;Ruth MallardRuth Mallard was born in Scotland County, North Carolina on October 10, 1923. Ruth moved to PA after high school. After arriving in Philadelphia, Ruth attended Philadelphia General Hospital where she received her training and became a LPN. Ruth worked at Abington Hospital as a nurse for 20 to 30 years. She had always wanted to be a nurse, and credits her mother for giving her the passion to be very caring and compassionate. After retiring from Abington, Ruth continued to be very active. She enjoyed participating in many different clubs such as the PTA board, and church services. Ruth said she was blessed to be married twice to two great husbands. In her first marriage, she had four children. After the passing of her first husband, she married again and had one more child. Ruth says she always tries to be a good person, to treat people the way she would want to be treated, and not be afraid to speak up for herself.
