HARRINGTON - Ruth Poore, of Harrington, passed away October 28, 2011. She is the daughter of Eva Kline of Oxford, Pa. and the late Austin Kline.
Ruth worked at the Harrington Raceway and Casino since they first opened. She loved her job as a supervisor and enjoyed meeting and interacting with all the people. She never missed a day of work, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Mrs. Poore was a member of the US Trotters Association and the Harrington Moose Lodge.
Ruth loved animals especially her pony "Honey", her dog "Pudge" and her goats. She enjoyed going to the Dover Down Casino. Mrs. Poore loved Mondays because she got to spend time with her daughters; grandchildren; and her sister on her day off. She was a "ball of fire", always on the go and doing something.
