Wanda and I will always remember Ruth and her love for family and friends. She helped us so much in researching our family history, and the stories she shared with us of her and Freds dad growing up in Spring Creek, and the history of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church and the Slide Knob Cemetary and the many loved ones and family who have gone on before. We’re sure she is up there celebrating with all of them. Our condolances to all of her family members.
