We were so very sorry to just hear of your sweet mother´s passing. Her dedication and love for education was so outstanding to us. She will be missed. Prayers always to her beautiful family.

God be with you all in your loss. Remembering Eternal life is in Him......

I am very sorry to hear the death of Mrs. Ruth Strong. She was a gracious and wonderful person whom I shall never forget! May God grant your family strength and peace in their time of sorrow!

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the Strong family during this difficult time. I pray that God will provide your all with His strength during this time of bereavement. May special memories also bring you comfort.

Dear Dr Ruth Tucker and family you have my deepest sympathy. What a legacy , your mother was an inspiration. May the peace of Jesus be with you during this season of bereavement.

My condolences to the family. Ruth was my Mentor for several years while I was employed with Birmingham City Schools. She was my "go-to" when I needed direction! God bless her, her family, and the wonderful memories we share.

Ruth, Pettus, Clifford: We knew your Mother in so many capacities- school, church, social organizations, community, friend. She left her footprint on this community and her legacy will last for many years to come. Our condolences to the entire family.

I first met Dr. Strong in Leadership Birmingham in 1985-86. We became friends then. In 1987, I was appointed to the Birmingham Board of Education and was always impressed with Ruth's leadership in promoting effective reading programs. And our friendship grew stronger as well. Dr. Strong was dedicated to the children of Birmingham, and gave her heart and soul to their education. My condolences and prayers for the family, especially her daughter, Ruth, a classmate at Birmingham-Southern...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
