    We lost Sue Johanson last summer at 92 & now Dr. Ruth at 96. It's the end of an era. Rest In Pleasure.

    My friends and I would stay up late Sun nights and listen to her radio show. For us middle schoolers, it was for fun and funny...now that she has passed, and I'm 50, I can truly appreciate hers as a life well lived. Rest In Pleasure, Dr Ruth. You will so be missed and thank you! 🥰❤️😭

      I listened to her every sunday night and it was good because my parents never talked about sex with me! But also because i liked her personality. I am the same age as you, too!

    I remember being a kid watching her on tv. Looking back I can't believe my mom let me watch her at such a young age.
    Ironically, just a few days ago I asked myself "I wonder of Dr. Ruth is still alive?"
    I guess we all know the answer.
    R.I.P. Dr. Ruth Westheimer

    I saw a notification of her first appearance on Johnny Carson a little while ago. This second one makes me sad because I'm assuming she has passed away. I hope she can be reunited with her husband & Rest In Pleasure.
