    Ruth was our neighbor and friend. So many stories that would make us giggle. She had a heart for others and a love for Jesus! She will be missed tremendously!

    Ruthie was my friend, used to come out and buy fresh milk from us. She had such a dry sense of humor that would make everyone laugh. I taught her to dance at my dance class in Emporia, what a hoot. She had us all laughing! I will miss her dearly.

    Ruth became my friend when I moved to Lebo in 1980. I loved her sense of humor and her love of sharing finds that she bought at auctions, etc. with anyone she thought needed it. She will truly be missed. Loved having her drop in for viisits.

    My deepest sympathy as Ruth is a great friend! Many times we would see each other at auctions and get caught bidding on something just because of talking with our hands. Rest pain free and easy my friend! Take a great fishing trip with my dad and Kim!
