Dear Family,
I am so sorry to see that Ruth has passed, however, I am so happy for her. I know she is running over the streets of glory. I will always remember her for her sunny smiling face at church.
You will be in my thought and prayers.
I’m sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Ruth was an inspiration to me when I was a teenager attending Pisgah Baptist Church. May God bless and confort you. Love, Gale
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of Ms. McCarson. Ruth had become a part of the big Aston Park family. She was a friend to everyone, and loved to sing. Everyone will miss her.
