Legacy of "Love"

The time was August 23, 1937 when a beautiful, dark haired, baby girl named "Ruth" was born the oldest of 13 children. Times were hard, food scarce, and even the basic things for survival were a challenge. Years would continue to pass and bring many other siblings to the family. At the age of 16 a tall, handsome man would win the heart of Ruth and they would marry. Three years later this young couple would have a bouncing baby girl of their own.(that was me...lol!) Ruth was widowed at the very young age of 25 leaving her to raise their little girl by herself. As fate would have it only a few short months later, another man would sweep Ruth and her little girl off their feet. This marriage would last 47 and a half years. The contributing factor here was her "Love", and many hours of hard work and endurance. After all, the name "Ruth" means "compassion". Everyone that was blessed to have known her would tell you this was one of her greatest gifts. Her special smile could melt your Heart and make the whole world seem a better place. Her senior years would finally bring retirement with time for all the things she enjoyed such as cooking, baking, gardening, and spending time with family. Ruth's earthly purpose was fulfilled on July 15, 2010 when she moved to her Heavenly Home with her Savior,Jesus. I am so happy she is finally at Peace. It was a honor and privilege to have called this special lady "Mom". ~ In Loving Memory ~
