It is with profound sadness that the Beekman Fire Company Auxiliary shares the passing of our Life Member, Ruth C. Hogan.
Ruth was much more than a longtime member of our Auxiliary—she was a cherished friend, a dedicated volunteer, and a true pillar of the Town of Beekman. She founded the Beekman Rescue Squad, assisted in the delivery of babies, comforted those in distress, and devoted her life to serving others with kindness, compassion, and unwavering generosity. Her dedication touched countless lives and helped shape the caring community we know today.
As a Life Member of the Beekman Fire Company Auxiliary, Ruth exemplified the spirit of volunteerism and community service. Her legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside her.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to Ruth's family, friends, and everyone whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
