For over 60 years, Ruth, Cora Brown, and Barbara Craig have been life-long friends. Ruth enjoyed playing bingo, entertaining and cooking; we will miss her German chocolate cake and banana pudding. She also loved dining out and would not hesitate to order her favorites: fried shrimp, barbeque, and lemon custard ice cream. Ruth’s love for music and dancing was no secret, whenever the music would come on, Ruth had one and only one dance we will never forget. Ruth faithfully watched television programs; The Price Is Right and her all time favorite show from Season 1 to the current season, The Young and the Restless. Ruth loved going to church, and singing in the choir; she accepted Christ at an early age and lived with Jesus in her heart. She lived an active life full of spirit, and treated everyone with love from the heart.
