I am saddened to hear of Ruth's departure from this world. My condolences to her family. I had the pleasure of working with her for several years at RHS. She will be in my prayers and thoughts. Respectfully, John Schulte Teacher/Dean of Students RHS retired.

To the Bowers family,
Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. Mom-Bowers will truly be missed not only by Reggie and Ajaye but especially by Langston and DavidJay. Its hard to explain how much of an impact on my life she is. Even when everyone has left the church and we are getting ready to go home or to the next service she would always be in the back giving me words of encouragement. And boy did she love Langston and DavidJay she treated them like they were her own grandchildren as she would always said to me dont be so hard on them they will be fine they are the kind of kids that are going to make you proud. I miss your smile and your laugh already. Whew! Bowers family we lost a Queen but now she is resting with the King of Glory. We love and Miss you Mom-Bowers you have ran this race well I can hear GOD say welcome home!

To my cousins, Stephanie, Robin, Rob, Tony and Aaron: I am sorry for your loss, my fondest memories are all the good times I spent with you in Landenberg in our younger years. Aunt Ruthann was a kind and gentle person and she made me feel like I was one of hers. I will never forget and I will cherish those great memories forever. Love Dana Bowers-Willis

Ruth Ann and I were very close friends throughout our years at Avon-Grove High School. She was a very talented athlete, excelling in basketball and hockey as well. In hockey she played right wing, and I played right inner. It was a sure thing that if she ever got the ball, her expert aim and her lightening speed would make a goal. Ruth Ann was a very honest person. She would tell you straight up what she thought about things. She was keenly intelligent and made good grades any time she put her mind to things. She loved to laugh and have a good time. She and I often visited the library at Lincoln University to do "research" at that predominantly male college.
I saw her last year at our 50th high school reunion, and she was full of pride as she talked about the accomplishments of her children and her grands. She also described some of the things she was doing in her church. It's hard to think that this woman who was so full of life is gone. But, she has probably already begun to organize a basketball team among the angels. She was an expert at lay-ups!
A true friend, fondly remembered,

The Gospel according to John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son and that who so ever should believe on him should not perish but have everlasting life�

In the days, weeks and months to come there will be times of reflection that will take you to special places of remembrance, please look upon these stolen moments as gentle reminders from God that one of the greatest loves on earth is the love of a Mother, Grandmother, Sister and a Friend that sticks to you closer than a Brother.

This poem is dedicated to the Family in loving memory of your “Special Lady�
“If Only You Knew�
If only you knew, the place where I am today
No more suffering no more pain in the arms of the Master is where I stay
If only you knew what a sight to behold
A place in the God's kingdom it's everything I've been told
If only you knew is all that I can say
From this side of Heaven, all I can see are brighter days
If only you knew what a sight to behold, a welcoming committee saying� what took you so long�
Yours in the Master's Service,
Elder A. Tyrone Patton Jr.

I would never leave the Austin home without kissing Ms. Ruth (Mom) on the forehead. I thought of her as a mom here in PA. Robin, Taylor, Ms. Ruth, and I would have the most awesome conversations and discussions about everything...and I always felt invincible after spending time with them. My kids would tease me because Ms. Ruth could "work a computer," and I am "computer illiterate!"
Thank you, Ms. Ruth for being so loving and nurturing over the many years. You will always be in my heart.
Family, as you know, "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal." I know you will be comforted in the loving arms of the Almighty.
