I will always remember Auntie Ruth being strong in her faith, always with a smile, and very interested in all that was around her. The last of her generation she leaves a lasting legacy in her children, grandchildren and great grand children. She is now reunited with those who left before her. I pray that the very best of memories bring you all comfort and strength. I hold you all close in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Ruthie's passing. She was such a sweet, happy woman. I always enjoyed our conversations. She sure did love her family as well as her church family. She is now in Heaven and although we will miss her, we will see her again one day. Sending my deepest sympathies to all of her family.
