Ruth was one of the finest women I knew. Shte helped me to grow in the Lord and stood by me always. She was an example of a strong Christian woman and always stood for what she believed. I know she is rejoicing with her beloved Mr. T and her mom. I will miss her dearly. Lovingly Marie Anne

Ruth was not only my cousin but my best friend. She and her husband Tony treated me and my children as one of their own. Always guiding us in the ways of The Lord. I will miss all the times together whether shopping, going to church or playing games and puzzles. Although she always won the games because she admittedly cheated. Fun times and beautiful memories will never be forgotten.

From our family to yours, we extend our condolences for the loss of your mom, grandma and great grandma. We know she is laughing in heaven, as she did so much here! I remember her fondly, with such spirit and always a ready smile - she and grandma (Anna) spent lots of time doing crafts and laughing together, and Ruth was always interested in what was going on with each of us. We were always happy to see her and Tony, and what a joy to know they are together again!
