Ruth displayed Christs love by showing kindness and compassion to anyone she met. She never knew a stranger. While working for the Gallia County Local School System, she showed this kindness and compassion by giving haircuts to children who could not afford one otherwise and participated in many fundraisers as well. Ruth had a love of singing and her beautiful voice could be heard while worshiping her Lord. These were the talents God gave her and she used them well. She will live on through her children and all the people she touched. She will be greatly missed by all.
The family extended their gratitude and would like to say Thank You to Holzer Hospice for the care they gave Ruth during her illness.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests Memorial Donation in Tuth's honor to the Alzheimer's Dementia Foundation.
