One of Ruth's favorite bible verses are found in Psalm 121 – 1- 4

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the maker of Heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip, he who watches over you will not slumber or sleep."

A Grave Side Service will be held at East Cemetery on Monday, August 8th at 11am.
