For your reading enjoyment, we continue to publish Rambling Vines by the late Marylea Vines as she recalls events and names of Corning folks from many years ago. We are currently in the year 1992.

RUTH YVONNE COBB

Ruth Yvonne (Ronni) Cobb passed away peacefully in the early morning of March 9, 2025, having been surrounded by her family and friends, and held in the light of prayer by many others, in the days before her passing. She went home in complete peace, Ronni is survived by her husband of 60 years, Ernest Lee Cobb (Ernie), her children Pam Mitchell (Dan), Ernest L. Cobb II, and Cathy (Cate), and her nephews Reed and Trace Tuttle, and nieces Lonnie Jones and Traci Van der Ploeg. She was preceded in death by her brothers Punky Tuttle and Marshall Tuttle, and sister Ann Baray, Born on July 15, 1944, in El Paso, Texas, Ronni grew up in Alabama and New Mexico. After graduating from Clovis High School, she joined the Army, where she met Ernie; they married September 4, 1965, and their adventure took them and the family to Arkansas, Texas, New Jersey, Louisiana, and California before they retired and eventually settled in McCall and Boise, Idaho. She created a home and made friends in every place she lived, and enjoyed staying in touch with many of those friends over the years. Family and friends appreciated Ronni’s sharp wit, ready sense of humor, and thoughtfulness. Over the course of her life, she was an avid bridge player, a voracious reader, and a keen follower of the politics of the day. She was a Girl Scout cookie mom, Cub Scout mom, swim team mom, and camp host extraordinaire for the family camping trips of the day, and she enjoyed working as a substitute teacher and office assistant. She had a love of good food and was an absolutely amazing scratch cook, particularly with fish and fowl Ernie would bring home from his hunts and fishing trips; she was well known in some circles for her creative and delicious take on coq au vin with wild duck breast. Ronni had a generous spirit, even at times when she faced health challenges, and her life experiences, and was a person of insight and compassion who would have a kind word or a laugh for you, even if she wasn’t feeling her best. Most of all, she was a loving wife, mother, sister, and aunt, and the memories so many have shared in recent days have gifted our family with a lovely mosaic of her life for us to treasure in the days to come. We remember Ronni with love and gratitude for all that she gave us and celebrate her life and her return Home. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff of Grace Assisted Living and Allcare Hospice, for their kind, gracious, and caring support during Ronni’s stay and her final days. Their memories of Ronni were a great comfort.

A senior’s guide to exercising safely

Exercise is an important component of a healthy lifestyle for people of any age, including the over-50 crowd. Seniors may have been told by their physicians that exercise promotes heart health and is essential to maintaining bone and muscle strength as well as balance and flexibility. Joining an exercise class or a gym also can be a social activity that promotes interaction with others of similar ages and with shared goals.

The importance of wellness exams after 50

Seniors are a growing and increasingly prosperous demographic. As the senior population increases, a greater emphasis must be placed on keeping aging individuals healthy. Wellness checks are important at any age, but they bear even more significance as individuals grow older.
