Admired Ruth very much for her faith, music and dedication in all she did. Sending very sincere condolences to her family. She most definitely will be missed by all who knew her and by all whose lives she touched in the slightest way with her smile, her musical talent.

Though I (Brentt) only knew Grandma for less than 2 years, she quickly welcomed into her family and left her imprint on my life and ministry.

She will truly be missed by me and I only hope that Lori and I can carry on her legacy of music and ministry.

I will greatly miss my loving sister and best friend. We had lots of laughter, which made any trial or struggle seem so small. But the memories I treasure most will be our private times of prayer. After every visit regardless of the time, we would privately pray together, the she would quietly pick up her guitar and we would sing a song. Usually one from our family gatherings of long ago. We kept these times private between us as a special bond. Miss you SiS and can’t wait to ya sing with you in Heaven🌹
