"She would have loved hearing people say fabulous things about her today."Glynneath Male Voice Choir sang Pan Fyddo'r Nos Yn Hir and Calon Lan and her family reflected on her life with readings. She was buried at Glynneath cemetery."Ruth would say to me 'Look at page 46, you and I are doing this and that together', but when we rehearsed we did nothing but laugh. We had the best time together.
Comedian Rod Woodward, who worked with her a number of times, said: "She was doing an old school music hall show when I first met her."I remember she gave me my own personal dance lesson, which was amazing. And that was my first introduction to Ruth.
