Ruth was a saint. She loved children,..she loved people...she loved her family and Bob was her life. I shall always thank her for the love she gave to my family while ministering in the Childrens Department of Brushy Creek. She was a fun loving person and I loved her very much.

I am Edna James Wilson's granddaughter.  I cannot remember the last time I saw Aunt Ruth but I do remember going to both Mike and Mark's weddings.  My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.

One of the nices person that i have known. Always had a nice smile.

I have such wonderful memories of this precious lady. My children adored her. We still have a pillowcase she gave one of the girls!
She is worshiping at the feet of her Savior.
I am so glad we will see her again one day. 
Much love to each of you!

I had Ruth and Bob on my mind recently, several times.  So sorry for the loss of one so dear...  Such a precious sweet Christian lady.  Love and prayers for the precious family...Jean Knight

Such a lovely and sweet person.   Our prayers are with the family.  Ruth will be greatly missed! Buck and Janet Tolbert

Countless memories of holidays and family gatherings at Grandmother James'. All the sisters laughing as they helped with dinner; gospel music coming from the radio on the sideboard and me, staying out of the way under the table. Sorry we're unable to make the service for Aunt Ruth.  Love you all.

I am so sorry to hear...She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time. Just know she is in the arms of our Lord and Savior now. I can picture that ever so sweet smile she had.

Mrs. Ruth McGuire was a precious woman. I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Mr. & Mrs. McGuire while delivering Meals On Wheels to their home. She reflected the Fruits of The Spirit as mentioned in Galatians the 5th chapter. I’m thankful for the great consolation scripture gives us in that “ to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” God Bless the entire McGuire family. 

Mrs. Ruth's son, Mark, came to our church in Illinois for a spring revival in 1992. The next year when my husband and I got married, she and her husband Bob sent us a wedding gift! We hadn't even met her! I was so touched she thought of us. Mark and LuAnne and your family, you all are blessed beyond measure to have Ruth in your lives. This is not goodbye but just a see you in awhile. May God comfort you as you grieve with hope! Love you all!

Mark and Family. I am sorry about your mom’s passing. Judy and I are praying for all of you at this time.
