Ruthie, was especially kind and always seeking the good in others. I remember her giving words of wisdom and encouragement to others. She took the time to listen and really loved those around her. When you were around Ruthie you knew she loved God and her family.
She is home now with her beloved Ron. We know all heaven is rejoicing and we too for her victory, even so, we feel the pains and grief of our loss for a loved one and rightly so.

She joined our family in 68' and was always a welcomed addition. I was proud and happy to call her my sister. My thoughts and prayers are with Kim & Shane and your families to remember the good times. Ruthie will be missed, we love you all!
