Ruth (Break on Through)

Ruth is one of the friends of Grace Bickham.

History
Grace, Eleanor, Ruth, and Agnes were all close friends. When Grace was dying, Eleanor, Ruth, and Agnes visited her in the hospital to sit with her. One day, they came in shocked that Meredith Grey had intubated her. Meredith had been unaware that Grace was on hospice care and had a DNR.

The three women stayed by Grace's bedside as they waited for Alice Bickham, Grace's daughter, to arrive so she could confirm the DNR and they could remove the tube. When she arrived, they were offered the chance to say a last goodbye, but they said they'd all said goodbye already. They, along with Alice and her girlfriend, sat by Grace's bedside as they removed the tube and she breathed on her own for a few hours and then died.

Friendships
She, Agnes, Eleanor, and Grace are very close friends. When Grace was dying, the other three were at her bedside.
