Ruth Larue Lindsey

home with family by her side.

She was a native of Hardin County and a member of Valley Creek Baptist Church. Ruth worked

for Trinity Industries and First Citizens Bank. She was an avid researcher of her family's

genealogy and made beautiful quilts to share with many. Her children, grandchildren, great

grandchildren and friends all knew that if you needed a smile or a place to just be yourself and

feel loved, to Ruth's house was the place to go.

her parents, Roy and Mary Ella Percefull Larue.
