Ruth was an important person in my life from the time I was born. I admired her faith and the way she lived her life, helping others. She was a good friend, she will be missed but I know she is at peace.

Ruth Pringle was one of my favorite teachers at Ash Fork High School back in about 1954. She was one of those teachers you never forget, always smiling and had words of encouragement for all her students. You could tell she loved teaching and really cared for her students. One of my classes with her was a called "Boy's Home Economics," in which she taught us everything from how to impress girls to cooking, to never wear stripes and checks at the same time. She was teriffic and I'll never forget her. I will be at the memorial service on Saturday, August 20.
