Thanks, Jamie. She was originally from Wisconsin, so I knew her
name from things she was in at school. She would have been five
years ahead of me. I sent the information to our Alumni person
in chege of our memorial services at reunions. Who knows if
we'll have another reunion, but we're keeping track anyway!

Subject: [Nebraska-Senior-Blind] Ruth Sager Service Information
For your information.
All,
Please find information concerning the services for Ruth Sager
below.
Many of you know her from her service as the President of the
NFB
Seniors Division. Others may know her from her time in
Maryland,
Louisiana, Connecticut, Virginia, or other places she spent
significant time helping blind people live the lives they want.
She
touched so many lives, shaped so many lives, had a tremendous
impact
on so many. She shared with several of us in her last weeks how
important it was to her that the world understood that blind
people
can live full and productive lives. She wanted that message to
be her
legacy. I think that legacy lives on in the thousands of people
for whom
she made that concept a reality.
Ruth Sager (nee Manz), of Baltimore, MD, passed away on
Saturday,
April 9th,
2022 at the age of 71. She is survived by her husband, Phillip
Sager;

Slater; sister, Pat (John) Conforti; and grandchildren, Leora
and Rowan
