Ruth Sutton Taylor

We are truly thankful for the blessing that was our friendship with Mr. Tom and Mrs. Ruth. Besides their example of Christian service, each loved our children. Mr. Tom gave some of his old history magazines to my son when he was a young boy, and Mrs. Ruth exchanged phone calls with Cobb and Marion until this past fall. From all the years that we enjoyed their ministry at Bible conferences, special meetings, and being guests in the home of our parents, we have too many fond memories to recount, but we wish to extend to the family our deepest condolences and thanks for sharing this wonderful couple with us. We will miss Mrs. Ruth and her fun phone calls but know we will see her again. Until then, her memory will remain a significant joy in each of our lives.

With deep love,
David, Tammy, Cobb, and Marion Hollingsworth

Aunt Ruth, my mother's sister, has always been a part of my memories. From the time I told her that I was 4 and in a minute I'd be 5. I have many letters from her to my mother that will now be treasured even more. May you find comfort in each of the memories you have of her. I enjoyed her Bible studies at Wittenburg and her piano playing - she played for Mom's memorial service at New Haven Court. We will miss the other half of "Agnes".

Ruth was a cherished friend to our family and a wonderful example of loyalty to her husband, her family, friends and above all to Jesus her Saviour and Lord. From our first meeting at Biblical Seminary in 1977, she had a welcoming presence and great sense of humor. By the grace of God she was who she was, an authentic follower of Jesus. We will miss our phone conversations and times of prayer. May God comfort all of her family and friends. May all of us who follow behind her, be found faithful.
