Ruth's smile light up a room! Her grace and poise was ever evident in her meek and humble spirit. I was blessed to call her my friend and she will be greatly missed as part of my family. May God's grace and strength be multiplied to you and your children.

Sorry to hear this sad new but know she will be in "Glory"
Remember as a driver for Grace of Calvary one time when picking her up for church there was a Russian man who also was waiting to a bus ride to his church and in his broken English asked if he could sing a song for GOC bus riders...it was "How great thou art"....he sang in Russian and Ruth joined in singing in English...it was AWESOME!
Ruth was a awesome friend and sister in the Lord
