My Aunt Ruth was 1st class everyday of her life. I will deeply miss her! I know she is rejoicing with all of our family that has passed before us. There was never a time when she was not there for me and our family. I will always cherish the memories we have! With all my Love!

When I was a Service Representative for C&P, I really admired her for her knowledge. I knew if anyone could fix something, it was her! In later years when C&P became Bell Atlantic, I had more contact with her. She was so friendly, and had so much knowledge of the inner workings of Accounting. I both liked and admired her!
The world has let another wonderful person pass on to see an even better world.

Cindy,
I am so sorry for your loss but rejoice in heaven's gain. Even though I have not seen Ruth in years I can still hear her call you Cynthia. I remember her sweet voice in the choir and the octet. She was a great mother to you and you were a great daughter to her in caring for her till the end. I wish I could make the trip home again to the funeral. My prayers and thoughts will be with you, Benny, Patrick and Lindsay. I know you all loved her very much.
Because of His Love and Grace,
Sandy and Gerald Shamblin
