Ruth was instrumental in starting Sarasota Christian School. She could always be found helping out, wherever needed, in the early days of the school. She was a faithful member of Bahia Vista Mennonite Church and served on the food service team. She was a homemaker and was known for her organization, hospitality and wonderful meals. She had a generous heart and loved being with family and friends. Ruth will be missed, but we look forward to being with her again in heaven.
