My mom and I were just remembering Ruth the last time we spoke. Ruth was such a dear friend of my mom, Carolyn. They loved to play bingo and they loved to bake for the church festivals. Ruth was a very kind, very sweet lady and my brother and sisters enjoyed her participation in our various family functions. The world became less fun the day she left. Especially for my mom.

Ruth and my mother Carolyn were dear friends. They attended church together, played bingo,baked for almost every church function and took many trips together. Ruth spent many hours with our family, playing cards and games and just enjoying the company of our family. She will be missed. She was a sweet, kind and beautiful woman.
