I will miss Ruth very much. I've missed our occasional coffee and chats we used to have on Sundays when she would stop in after leaving church. Ruth had such an infectious smile and an un-wavering love for God that she shared with so many. My heart goes out to my nephews Roger, Bobby and Eddie at this sad time in their lives. Rest in peace dear sister. You have earned your wings

Auth Ruth was a special caring aunt, always spreading the word of God to all in the family. She would asked if we were ok with God. Inviting us to attend church and was the first to be there when anyone was facing a struggle in life. Never judging always leading a helping hand and spreading God's love. She had a laugh that was infectious, it would lighten any difficult situation the family may be facing. The sadness and crying would turn to smiles, great stories with laughter. She will be missed by all who knew her but I know she is laughting all the way to heaven! As we all mourn in her honor we can remember the good times be comforted by her love and celebrate a life well-lived. My thoughts and prayers, to her sons Roger, Bob, Ed and their extended families who she loved so dearly.

Ruth was a dear friend to me. I lived with her for a little bit. She was the most loving, giving person I had ever known. If you ask her for anything she would help you the best way that she could. I remember her love for the lord. I did go to church with her one time. She loved children too. Every time I would stop to visit she always recognized my daughter Nevaeh. I will never ever forget the love this women had and would tell you the word of the lord and make you feel like you could get through anything life thru at you. I know Ruth went to heaven. One beautiful day I will join her. Until the day we meet again my friend we love you and miss you. The memories I will always keep. Rest In Peace.
