It was an Honor to sing at her funeral, It was an honor to be taught by her, it was an honor to have known her. It was an Honor to call her Aunt Ruth.

Miss Ruth was such a character! My entire family loved her. She was a fun-loving comedienne yet classy, talented and giving! She and my Mom would carry on at lunches and activities at TSU and outside of that setting. When my Dad died, she came over to the house on campus to console us, but we all ended up laughing! To the Family, thank you for sharing her with us for so many years. May God comfort you in the days to come and rest assured that because of Gods great promises, you will...
