Ruthie was a wonderful person...one of a kind who radiated goodness. She was our next door neighbor for almost 50 years and we enjoyed her as a family member. Our family loved Ruthie and she will be missed.

We spent many enjoyable hours with Ruth as well as Ed and Katherine. We have many fond memories of time spent visiting and of course taking communion to her when they were in Christ the King. She enjoyed Rose being able to read to her at times and time spent visiting was always a blessing. May she rest in peace till we meet again.

Ruthie was and is an amazing woman and Friend to so many people. We grew up beside her on Brown Street. She was a bright light in the world who will be missed by those who knew her. Thank You Ruthie for always being a wonderful neighbor and Friend. She taught me how to play the piano and she played the organ beautifully. Ruthie also sung beautiful songs in the Church choir and around her home. We Love You and Our Thoughts & Hearts & Prayers are with Ruthie's Family & Friends now.

It is so sad to hear of Ruthies passing. She was one of the sweetest friend and ladies you could ever know. She always had a smile and good word for everyone she knew. With Deepest Sympathy.
