So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the
words spoken at John 5:28,29 "(28).Do not be amazed
at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the
memorial tombs will hear his voice (29). and come out,
those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and
those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."

To the family of Ruth Havens:

You have my condolences in losing Ruth. She was a wonderful lady,; always friendly, and with a smile and nice comment for everyone she came in contact.with.

I first knew Ruth when she worked at the old First State Bank & Trust Company, then Worthen, then Boatmens, then Bank of America, and finally First Security Bank. She was an asset to those banks, with a warm greeting for her customers. She would inevitably brighten up my day. whenever I saw her..

She made a difference, and we will all miss her.

Sharron and Lee Ann, this hurts my heart so much. Aunt Ruth was one of my favorites. She was my mentor when I decided to go into banking all those many years ago, and she definitely set the bar high I will forever keep her wonderful laugh and infectious smile in my heart.

May God Bless you and comfort you during the loss of your precious Mother.

Ruth and I were classmates all through Wooster Elementary, Jr. and Greenbrier High School. I remember her contagious laughter and her love of basketball. I moved away but have not forgotten my "roots". Please accept my condolences at this sad time.

Ms. Ruth was a joy and a pleasure to do business with. She made going to the bank an experience rather than a chore. I've missed her since her retirement, but know that she's enjoyed that time with family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Eric Glover, loyal First Security customer and friend of Ms. Ruth

Ruth will be missed by many. I can not count the years that I saw her weekly in the beauty shop. She always asked about Momma and kept up with us all. Praying for all of you during this time of sorrow.
Mom said she is praying and thinking of you all.
