Mother remembered for devotion to family and the toy fund

Many donations to the toy fund are made in memory of mothers. That seems especially true this year, with notes from donors about how it was their mothers who filled the holidays with warmth and joy and lasting memories.
One such donation came from Mary Turner: “In memory of my mom, Ruth Hamm, who donated every year, miss her so much.”
Ruth Hamm was a shining example of a loving mother who made sure her children had joy-filled holidays. And that wasn’t always easy.
We know this because many years ago, Hamm turned to the Press Herald Toy Fund for help during a difficult time. And for the rest of her life she gave back, making annual donations. Her daughter took over when Hamm died in February 2014.
