Ruth will also be deeply missed by many extended family members and friends. She is a former member of Bethel United Methodist Church where she sang in the choir and was a Sunday school teacher. She had a green thumb, loved long car rides, and enjoyed visiting with family and friends. Ruth had a beautiful singing voice and music was special to her. The family is grateful to the entire staff at Columbus Alzheimer Care Center for their loving care, and to special friend Ken Goodknight for his faithful visits.

For when the mother is gone, the home is indeed a lonely place.
