Ruth Sherlock Obituary

Ruth Harris Sherlock, 71, of Pismo Beach died peacefully at home Tuesday, March 25, 2008. Ruth faced her death as she had lived her life - on her own terms. To the very end she was alive with humor, a love of learning and always a love of people. She trusted in God and viewed her death as her next great adventure.

Ruth was proud to have been born in Tennessee and was raised there and Coalinga. She had married, had two children whom she raised as a single working mother in San Francisco. After 25 years in San Francisco, Ruth retired to the place she loved most - the Central Coast.

She is survived by her son, Mitchell; daughter, Lisa, both of San Francisco; and her beloved sister, Rosie Blevens of Coalinga.

A celebration of Ruth's life and a memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Monday, April 14, 2008, at Los Osos Valley Church of Christ, 2058 Los Osos Valley Dr., in Los Osos.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Los Osos Valley Church of Christ.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
