Since they lived close to one another, my mom used to pick Ruth up for various women's activities at Hope Church through the years. It seemed like Ruth became a member of the family through extension. I always enjoyed talking with her. She will be missed.
I grew up in Ruth's neighborhood and on the same street. One day when I was about seven or eight, mom went shopping and I stayed home to play with all my Carlisle friends. We all decided to break pop bottles,(this is before money back on them) in a back yard. We hit the rim of a tub outside near a garage and giggled as they broke and having a real good time. Well, some of the glass flew up and cut my cheek and my friends led me to Ruth's house for care She talked quietly and cleaned the cut and tried her best to close the wounds. Yup, I had two cuts on my right cheek. She gave me a drink and had me rest until my mom came home. She was a real wonderful lady, neighbor, wife and mother.
Recently my sister and I visited with her and shared memories of the old neighborhood. Ruth was surprised and thankful for the visit.

I remember many years ago when I had an opportunity to go shopping with Ruth and Karen in Muskegon, MI. Ruth made me feel so comfortable, and I still remember the fun we had just hanging out and getting to know each other. She touched so many lives and will be sorely missed.
