RUTH CRABTREE Obituary

Ruth Hudson Crabtree achieved her heart's desire and entered the gates of Heaven on April 30, 2016. Here on earth, she built a home and had ten children with Stillman Crabtree, who preceded her in death. After raising her children, Ruth graduated from California State University, Fresno, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business. She worked at the County Auditor's office for many years. Ruth was an active member of the Clovis Pentecostal Church of God for over 40 years. In the years prior to that, she taught Sunday school at other local churches she attended. She is survived by her ten children, Jack Crabtree, Dianna Weber, Donna Cole, Loretta Cain, Barbara Torres, Karen Brisky, Debbie Soltero, Robin Preheim, Kelley Hill, and Carol Crabtree; as well as 29 grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank friends, loved ones, doctors, nurses, and caregivers for their loving support and kind words to our beloved mom. Today we honor our parents, Stillman and Ruth Crabtree on what would have been their 70 year anniversary. They are together again.
