My family (Robt.Foster) knew Ruth and Dale through Berea Church. They were friendly, and interested in everyone, cared about everyone... I was a child and remember them as always happy and happy to see you and interested in your welfare. Delightful Christian couple.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I recall all the work on the Petefish family history Ruth put together...what a gift to all her relatives.

Many memories for life of Ashland High School as I graduated in 1967. I was blessed to attend my 50th class reunion and had the opportunity to talk with her and give her a hug. She expected the best out of her students and was an excellent teacher. What a wonderful lady and teacher. Her dedication to education was greatly appreciated.
