Ruth Hurlbert Obituary

Ruth M. Hurlbert Beloved Spouse, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother PAUMA VALLEY -- Ruth M. Hurlbert, completed her journey on this earth, Saturday, February 21, 2009, and is now rejoicing with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Born on July 12th, 1927 in Rochester Minnesota, she was the youngest of eight girls. She had lived with her husband of 61 years, Donald Patrick Hurlbert, in Pauma Valley for 30+ years. Together they traveled from Minnesota to California to raise their family. Ruth was a devoted mother to Dennis Hurlbert of Encinitas, Don Hurlbert of Escondido, Nancy Robleto of Kings Mountain, N.C., and Jennifer Hurlbert of Portland, Oregon. Ruth also had been blessed with six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Ruth was born-again and trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior when she was 47 years old. She was quick to share her saving faith with all around her. She attended Emmanuel Faith Community Church until the later years in her life. She loved watching and listening to Bill Gaither music and reading her Bible daily, where she found peace in the Lord's words. She faithfully prayed daily for her family and took great pleasure in participating in their lives. She has gone home to heaven, a good and faithful servant. We will miss her greatly. A memorial service will be held at Emmanuel Faith Community Church in Escondido, on Thursday, February 26th at 10:00am. Sign the Guest Book online obits.nctimes.com

Uncle Pat and Family,
I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to all of you. It has been many years since I last saw Aunt Ruth, but I have fond memories of her. I am Florence Neville's oldest daughter. We had many good times with Uncle Pat, Aunt Ruth and family when they lived in Minneapolis. Ruth was a very sweet and caring person. May God bless all of you.

My Grandmother was a wonderful woman. She taught me so much, from the little things, like the proper way to polish a dinning room table, to the important life lessons, like kindness and humility. She was infallibly sweet, always a source of comfort to me. I know I will be seeing her again and am thankful that God gave her to this family.
