I just heard the news of Ruth’s passing.  We were cheerleaders together at Pleasant Valley.  I still remember her 16th birthday party at The Plantation restaurant, an apt place for a true Southern belle, who exuded grace and charm.   My memories of her are of a beautiful, talented person who had a lovely smile and sense of style. How sad I am to hear of her passing.  May her spirit and love continue to bring you comfort both now and in the future.  May God give you His peace that truly passes all understanding and comfort you with His love.

I have so many happy memories of my sweet niece! Ruth, Chris and I used to make “boats” out of anything we could find and race them down a creek near her childhood home in Decatur, AL.

Ruth was a great mom, contributor to the community and supporter of our schools. Her outstanding parenting is seen in the successes and maturity of her daughters, Especially Emma, whom I have seen grow from a dynamic middle schooler to a thriving collegian. Ruth brought class and energy to everything she did and she has left an indelible imprint on Lancaster.  Jay Butterfield
