Sending my sympathies to the Bounds family. Great memories from my teen years spending time at the Bounds’ house with my good friend Dave. Mrs. Bounds was always welcoming and made everyone laugh. The Peace of Christ be with you Mrs. Bounds, we love you!

I will always remember Ruth as my angel on earth. My mother collapsed in Acme years ago. and Ruth stayed with me until the paramedics arrived. She was a complete stranger yet she showed so much compassion that day. Coincidentally I ran into Ruth and her daughter at our optometrist's office years later and she remembered us. So sorry for your family's loss ...she was indeed a very kind lady.

Ms. Bounds enjoyed life to the fullest. She had a great sense of humor and could laugh with abandon! I will always think of her in her tennis outfits going to play as she often did in her younger years. She will be missed greatly by those she’s left behind.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Ms. Bounds was a truly unique woman; always good for laugh, quick witted, a natural born story teller and had an infectious laugh. She will be remembered fondly. Rest easy 🙏

Ruth was our next door neighbor for 32 years. She watched our children grow up and then we got to watch her granddaughter grow up. We enjoyed her friendship and have missed her since we moved away. Wally, David, Lisa and Maggie we send our heartfelt condolences.
