Ruth had unashamed and unapologetic love for Jesus Christ. She was a woman of remarkable kindness whose greatest joy was loving and guiding her children. Her smile—gentle, radiant, and full of grace—made everyone she met feel seen and special. Those who knew her often said her warmth felt like the love of Jesus Himself. She lived her life with quiet strength, selfless devotion, and a heart open to everyone who needed comfort or encouragement. Though our hearts ache with her passing, we find peace in knowing her love will continue to guide and protect us, just as it always has.

A graveside service will be held Thursday, October 9th at 2 pm at Obetz Cemetery. Family will host a celebration of life following graveside service.
