Ruth Ellen Mapes

My aunt Ruth is the closest thing I had to a loving mother. She was so intelligent and kind.

She gave great sage advice, cared for all, and had a great sense of humor.

I loved her wholly. I will love her forever. I am forever grateful for the love and kindness she has always shown me and my family.

She was one in a billion. I am a better person because of her.

I miss her. I hope I am good enough to be with her on the other side.

Missy....Thinking of you and your family in this time of sorrow! I have many fond memories of visits with Ruth when she would visit her family in Dallas! She had a contagious laugh and a great sense of humor! There was never a holiday that past that she didn´t make me a really special T-shirt or sweat shirt ! She was very good seamstress and very creative!!
When she was in her late 80´s and early 90´s We had fun trying to play a word game on the computer, too! She would do better than I could!! She was a very special lady!!
