Beloved Aunt Ruthie
My Aunt Ruthie was an awesome person and I was lucky to have her be a part of my life for 42 years. She would do anything for anyone and always with a smile and some jokes. She will truly be missed but never forgotten.
Your loving niece Bonnie
Ruth & Cliff were former neighbors of ours. We’re so sorry to hear of her passing. Ruth was a very active person and pride herself on keeping her yard spotless. She was friendly, had a great sense of humor and could tell stories about her life that you new she lived every day to it’s fullest. Condolences to Cliff and her family.
