Ruth and my mother became very good friends when they lived on Edgewood Drive. She was such a special and close friend after my father passed away, I was so glad my mother had her for a friend. Ruth was a very special lady and I am so glad I got to know her. So sorry to hear of her passing but know she is home and among family and friends. She will be missed. Sue Cramer Clem

Family, your Mother was a wonderful example of what kindness was all about. As a little kid I remember Ruth coming to our house selling Avon. My Mom, Henrietta Jacobs, loved your Mom. I can still hear her laugh. Keep her memory alive.

Rhonda,
So sad for you and your family at the passing of your mother. I remember her taking me school clothes shopping with you one year. One evening when I was staying with you she prepared the best pot roast I think I have ever eaten! Later, I would purchase Avon from her. I'm sure you have many loving memories! My heartfelt sympathy for you and your family. You were truly blessed to have such a wonderful woman to be your mother.

Family, You had such a wonderful giving Mother. We would ride to Avon meetings together and had so many laughs. She was a good Christian lady and showed a lot of grace. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in the coming days.

Especially to Rhonda, we're from the same class all through school...sometimes on the same school bus. I'm sorry to see that you've lost your mother. I lost my dad ten years ago. We miss our parents when they're not around anymore. So I pray that the Lord will strengthen you and bless you (and your whole family). Warmly, Wayne

when I was a child I remember Ruth coming to the farm and selling Mother Avon products. My Mother always looked forward to buying something from Ruth and spending time visiting with her. I always enjoyed seeing Ruth at church. She never failed to have a warm, welcoming smile. May our Lord envelop you in His gracious arms and ease your heartache. Ruth has surely joined Him, walking Heaven's streets of gold and taking new residence in her Heavenly mansion.

Rhonda, Bob and Ron Our thoughts are with all your family in the passing of my dear friend, Ruth. I have precious Memories when she would come to chat and listen thru our family's medical problems. She was a sincere loving person. Also, remember the fun times, celebrating our birthdays with the gang, turtle suppers, cranking ice cream. MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON and she made so many. Love to all her family.
