Pat and all of Ruth's family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. She lived life to the fullest. She really enjoyed her drive by birthday party! She came to a couple of basketball games this season and cheered the team on! She endured a houseful of us girls for slumber parties and the mess we made making decorations for the prom! She drove to the Marion Country Club late at night to our 50th class reunion of our Class of 1965 to see "the kids"!!!! We were blessed to have had her involved in our lives growing up

Ruth was my champion in all things beautiful. We had so much fun getting ready for our plant sale, (except the time we found a snake in the big dump of of woods dirt while potting up plants in my garage) she was always so positive thinking and a beautiful soul. We will always think of her when we see flowers and butterflies. Ty for being her angel, she really enjoyed the special things you did for her. Hugs and prayers for you all.

I was deeply saddened to just find out about Ruth’s passing. She was one of my mother’s friends, schoolmates at Kirkpatrick, and she and mom and Maxine were all on the 1940 Marion County Championship team. Please accept our deepest sympathy.
