Mrs. Eaves, 73, of Union Hill, entered eternal rest on Thursday, January 4, 2024, in her residence.
She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. Ruth loved animals, especially her cows, horses, and dogs. She had a servant's heart, and you never left her home without a cup of coffee and a meal. She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had a green thumb and could make anything grow, and she enjoyed cooking. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
