Aunt Ruth was always a kind and loving person. I remember visiting her was I was a little boy and she always made me and my brothers feel at home. Mike and Carolyn were so loved and back then she loved her little dog “Tinker”. She will be missed.

Great Aunt Ruth was amazing. Always had a smile and a warm hug when we got to see her at the reunions. She loved her family and would tell the best stories of the good ole days! I know the family was was waiting in heaven to greet her with a hug! We will miss Aunt Ruth!! Love you all and sorry for your loss she was amazing.
Ruth and her husband, Ray, were the first neighbors I met when I moved into her old neighborhood in Troy, MO. She remained a wonderful neighbor and friend that I always felt I could talk with. A tinge of sadness is still felt when I walk past her old house with my little dog. She was a special part of our community. Ruth raised some great kids of whom she was very proud. Carolyn and Mike, I am so sorry for your loss. Macey, I’m sorry for your loss as well. Her memory lives on in all her extended family. How lucky you all are for having had her for mother, grandmother and on and on. She made everyone feel a bit like family.
Thanks to everyone who showed such love and support, mom would’ve been proud to see all of you there!
