Ruth was well-known for her humble, giving nature. She delivered Meals on Wheels for many years.  She was always giving people rides to appointments, the grocery store, and church on Sunday.  Ruth loved her church and church family and was a devoted member giving selflessly of her money, time, and talents.  Ruth gave generously to many charities and was known to help even strangers in need.  Most of all she gave to her family. Sunday dinners followed by a volleyball game were a family tradition. Ruth loved reading, tending to her flowers, and feeding the birds and animals. She will be greatly missed.
