I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and my prayers.
Dear Crabtree Family, Ruth was one of the kindest people. She helped our tennis team and always had positive comments for me personally and all the students. She will be greatly missed and we are so sorry for your loss. I apologize for not being able to go to the memorial service as there was a wedding at our church on the same day. Please know that we are praying for all of you. With much love - Tammy and Brooke Johnson

It was a pleasure to have known
Ruth. She was such a gentle and loving person. She has left a lot of wonderful memories for all that knew her. She will not be forgotten and I will always remember her beautiful eyes and her strong faith.
I was saddened to here of the loss of Ruth.It was an honor to have known her and my deepest sympathy is with John and the family.
Ruth had so many amazing qualities like grace, discipline & humility. She lived her life as a faithful servant of God with such goodness. I am reminded of a Poem by Linda Ellis, The Dash.
........
For it matters not how much we own;
The cars, the house, the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
I love you Ruth! Love your little sister, Joel.
I was so blessed to have Ruth as a sister-in-law. Her Christian walk was such an example to me and our family. I am saddened that she is no longer with us, but find peace in knowing she is with our Heavenly Father and her parents, Harold and Joann. You will be missed!!
Ruth…wife, mother, grandmother, sister, homemaker, teacher, crafter, caregiver, giver of much, faithful servant of our Lord Jesus Christ and a true Proverbs 31 woman…tireless, selfless and devoted in all. We will miss you. Love, your sister Karen
