Every community has just a very few folks who stand out among the multitude. In the community of Albion, Winslow Township, New Jersey, Ruth Lancaster was such a person. Mrs. Lancaster was not rich or famous. She was, however, a model for many, incorporating an enviable mix of positive human characteristics that earned her the universal respect of all who knew her. A pillar of strength and virtue, who persevered through multiple adversities and raised an outstanding family. She has made her mark in this world and has now been welcomed with open arms into the Kingdom of Heaven.
