Funeral.
After she had flown from Florida to Greenwich, Conn., to attend a private memorial service for her son Mark (who had committed suicide in December), she was turned away by his unforgiving widow, Stephanie.
When Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme collapsed, Mark and his brother, Andrew, warned their mother: It’s him or us, Ruth, 69, chose her cherished sons., until Bernie Madoff was beaten in prison in 2009. She returned to the 72-year-old swindler’s side, infuriating the two sons, who cut her out of their lives for good.
A source close to Ruth said, she now lives in a state of obscurity, using her maiden name and dyes her hair red when venturing out to rent dollar DVDs or when visiting the public library.
Regardless to how Ruth’s son felt when he took his own life, her daughter-n-law has to live with the fact that, she denied his own mother some sort of peace before he was laid to rest.
