Ruth and I met at the rehab pool at St. Charles. She always had a smile and a kind word. It wasn't hard to see that she was a dedicated missionary whether here or in the mission field. She's earned her spot in heaven...no more worry or pain. Just everlasting celebration with her God and Savior.
May wonderful and loving memories comfort you.

As I look around this world in which we are bound, the colors don't seem to be as bright, the sky doesn't seem as blue, and the sun isn't shinning as grandly as it once did....I turn to my Father and ask why the change?....He said to me....My beloved child has finished her race and come home to Me to receive her reward. For you see my child was special, everywhere she walked she brought the light of my love....and that light made everything alittle brighter and grander.....I asked my Father, will this world always be this dimished now that she is gone?.................He spoke ever so gently, no, in time the love that that she gave so freely will grow in those she deposited it in and once again the brilliance that has been dulled with her parting will be restored, even brighter than before.
God's love and grace keep you until you see the brilliance return to your lives

We praise the Lord for Ruth's life of ministry. She was a faithful and dedicated teacher while at Pan American Christian Academy (PACA) in Brazil. It was a joy to work with her during her years at PACA and we appreciated her willingness to make the sacrifice to be separated from her family, even after retirement, to serve in Brazil. May the Lord's comfort and blessing be with Ruth's entire family during this time of loss. Mike Epp (PACA Director while Ruth served in Brazil)

Thursday evenings with Mrs.Ruth were very special to Zach. A mother knows her son adores someone when he mistakenly calls her "Grandma". She will always have a special place in our hearts.

Linda and all of Ruth's family, Thanks so much for calling me. I was so shocked and saddened by the news and of Donald too. I wish we could have gotten together one more time. But how time slips away. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. I so enjoyed her newsletter every Christmas. What a precious wonderful sister and mother and grandmother she was to you all. I will be praying for you all during this time. I know she was very very loved and will be missed very much. Oh how I wish I could have talked to Ruth one more time I am sure Ruth and Momma and Theodore and Stanley and Donald and Marilyn and Dan are all having a good time in Heaven remembering old times. Please let's keep in touch.
With much love,
Your cousin,

Working with Ruth was a joy! She even had before school started bible studies for any teacher who wanted to come to her room. She brought courage to all of us to share the love of the LORD to everyone we meet. What a dear and precious friend she was...I'll miss her.
