Not sure what to say?

Ruth was a faithful prayer warrior! I first met Alvin and Ruth at the church as I was preparing to join the Navigators as a missionary in 2004. I visited Ruth in her home in 2016 to provide her with an in-person ministry update. I was blessed to have her pray for our ministry that day and for all of these years. God listened to her prayers and blessed the work of our hands. We miss her Prayer Warrior prayers!

Grateful to serve Jesus with her,

I have such fond memories of Dr. Ruth while growing up living behind them. Me, Patsy and Charlotte were great friends and Dr. Ruth was a sweet, sweet lady. She started attending John Wesley UMC when she and Mr. Shull were together. Whenever I attended while visiting my parents she would make a point to find me and hug me as hard as she could! The bonds formed so many years ago never faded. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

We attended church at Northbridge with Ruth and Al and shared good times together. So sorry to hear of her passing. Sincere condolences to her family.

So sorry to hear about Ruth. She was a dear friend to my mother Mary Bundrick, my daughter Tracie Penton Pylant and me. We all think very highly of her. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless

Patsy, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet Mother. She was a woman ahead of her time, with her professional accomplishments. I recall how you always admired her when you spoke of her. Much sympathy to you , Hank, and your sons.

We will miss walking by Doctor Ruth's door many times during the day. We were fortunate to have spent time with a wonderful and special lady. Our times of sharing the movies in the theater at The Crossings West Ashley will always remain in our hearts.

What a sweet loving woman! I count it a blessing to have known her for all of these years. Love to all the family.

Oh how I will miss not being able to call Charlotte to ask her to tell Grandma Ruth to pray for something- cause that's what she did- she was a Prayer Warrior! She was a Saint who loved her Savior deeply! I will miss this sweet Angel so much already!

Ruth was a very special friend to our family and she will be missed. She left a great legacy of faith and showing grace and kindness to all.
