Ruth, Arlene Stoller, Lucille Wade and I worked as our church library committee. We had such a good time
together, and it was obvious that Ruth was also a loving mother and grandmother, as well as being a good friend. We have missed her.

To all of Aunt Ruth's Family. You all have my sympathy's. Aunt Ruth always did her best to keep in touch with my mother Annetta Green. She was always so great to moma and daddy. When my mom was sick I know it helped her and lifted her spirits so very much to hear from Aunt Ruth. She was a wonderful lady who knew what mattered most and she was always wonderful to me. I will always regret not keeping in touch.
My prayers and love go to each of you.
