Bernie Madoff's wife seeking redemption through charity work in Florida

The New York Post reports:

She's hasn't donned sackcloth and ashes, but Ruth Madoff is trying to repent.

Like the biblical Ruth, the disgraced wife of jailed Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff is depending on relatives for sustenance, and searching for redemption by volunteering for charity work.

The formerly monied Manhattan matron has fled to south Florida, where she bunks with relatives and apparently does God's work, delivering meals to the homebound, The Post has learned.

The former billionaire's wife has been reduced to driving around in a 14-year-old clunker, with a parking placard in the back seat that reads, "homebound delivery volunteer driver."
