Ruth Stewart Obituary
March 14, 1947-May 20, 2019
Ruth was the first child of John Homer Stewart and Julia Evelyn Stewart. She was unwaveringly faithful to Jesus her whole life. Born in Iowa, she was moved to Riverside, California at an early age. She attended The Grove Community Church in Riverside for much of her life, and found it very fulfilling. In her early 20's she attended Southern California Bible College in Orange County, California. She is sorely missed by family and friends. Please keep the family in your prayers.

Thank you all for the truly kind remarks for my sister. Unfortunately I was out of the country for 6 years and only exchanged emails with Ruth during that time. I was honored to write this simple obituary for my dear sister. She is now blessed more than all of the living because of her faith.

Ruth never let a time go by where she didn't check with you to see how you were doing. I'm going to miss her and the care she always took time to give.

I remember the first time I met Ruth. It was to pick up Sharon and take her to meet my parents. Ruth was waiting out side with her new dog, giving me a look of "who are you and what are you doing with my sister?" From that start, I learned to love her as a true woman of faith, and a caring sister-in-law. Looking forward to our reunion.
