When I was in my 20’s I told Ruth when I grown up I want to be just like you! She always had a smile for you and a cheerful personality. She loved her family with all her heart. And she was ALlWays ready to hit the road and go some place. She was a joy to be around and she will be missed.

Aunt Ruth will, definitely, be missed. She always called me “Shirley”, and she would let me hug her, telling me every time ” I don’t usually let people hug me, you know .” I always got a kick out of her!
Those closest to her are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.

The memories that go thru my brain when I think of Aunt Ruthie Baby are a mile a minute. She use to go when Memaw to us grand kids to dog patch when we were kids, she was a hoot. I can remember as a kid trick or treating at her house and she always gave us kids a dollar in our sandwich bag of candy lol. She had still done till this day even with our kids. I can remember her always a cookin something up in the kitchen or whatever she was getting into that day. We love and will miss you dearly.

Aunt Ruth treated me like a daughter. Growing up I spent many nights at her house. Granny and PaPa were still living. She took me on vacations (California, Dog Patch, and many swimming trips). She even went shopping with me after I had my kids (to help out ). She helped care for my mom during her cancer battle. Ruth was always giving of herself. She will always have a place in my heart ♥️. I send hugs and prayers to Anthony, Terry, the grandkids, the great-grands and Ruth’s surviving brothers 🙏
