My heart is broken. I’ve known Ruth Ann since we were in the 7th grade. As years went by she became very close friend. Several years ago she and 8 others high school graduates started taking yearly trips. What a great and fun time we had. So many wonderful memories. She truly loved her family, her faith, and friends. I will miss her.
I am so sorry for your loss. Ruth was such a kind and sweet lady. I enjoyed seeing her at the salon and talking with her on the phone. May your beautiful memories of her bring all of you comfort. Rest in peace sweet lady.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
