My thoughts and prayers are with you all, I had no idea that she had passed. Please know that I will say a prayer for you and your family, one for peace and comfort in your time of sorrow. I am sure God has wrapped your mama in a huge welcome hug, she is comforted now, as you should be, knowing she is in a better place. It won't take the away the loss but maybe lessen the pain. Take care all, Tara

Dear Marshan, I worked with your mother before she worked at the lottery, under Paul Powell. You visited in my home on the corner of Eleanor & Lsurel when you were about 5 years old. My grandson Joshua Jett is the same age as you. He is a teacher and I thought Ruth Ann said that you were also. I had lunch with Ruth ann about 2 years ago and we always kept in contact with Christmas cards. She would send me pictures until a few years ago. Her card last year told me several things were not...

Yahrzeit candle also spelled yahrtzeit candle or called a memorial candle (Hebrew: ?? ?????, ner neshama, meaning "soul candle".
I am so very sorry to hear of Ruth's passing. I worked with her at the Lottery for many years, and she was such a nice person. She always had a smile, loved to have fun, and enjoyed a good joke. She was well-liked, and always enjoyable to be with. This candle is lit in her memory. God Bless.
