Ruth C. Schaffer

Aunt Ruth, I enjoyed corresponding with you while I was in college and I enjoyed getting to know you and deepening our friendship these last few years. There are so many wonderful memories that I have of you and I don't have enough space to detail them all. You placed a high priority on family and you had a genenous and giving spirit. While on the inside we might all still grieve for you, on the outside we are celebrating your victory into eternal life.

I have fond memories of all the many good times we joined you and Paul for dinner. I still have the living room chairs you gave to me when you moved. I look at them now in my living room and smile as they remind me of you. Thank you for your loving kindness. You will be greatly missed.

We will miss you so much Ruth. You were very much like a grandmother to us, also. We loved visiting you at your house on weekends and getting together to eat at new and exciting places! I remember when we went to Johnny Rivers and it was someone's birthday and they made them get up on a chair and they sang to them. You said under your breath, "I'm glad its not my birthday!" We still laugh about that. We smile with the memories we have with you. We will make more memories with Paul...

We first got to know you through Jane Wright. It won't seem like Christmas Day and dinner at Jane Wright's without you. We sure enjoyed the times we got together for lunch out. You will be greatly missed. Love Rex and Wanda Overhiser.

Great Aunt Ruth,
I have great memories of growing up and having Christmas Eve at your house after the church service. Your house was always so beautifully decorated with the Christmas tree and village. I also loved the tree that snowed.

You were like a grandmother to me. I am so glad that you were able to see and hold my first son, Kaiden, and I will always tell my 2nd child, Kaiya, all about you. We love you!
Cherie, Kenn, Kaiden & Kaiya

I will always remember the times when we had family get togethers for christmas and THanksgiving. I always looked forward to coming over to your house on Christmas eve and spending the holidays with you and Paul.

To my Great Aunt Ruth,

You have showered love on Kenn and my children.
We love you and miss you!
