The first time I met Jimmie Ruth she walked up to the Personnel Window and all I could see were her bright smiling eyes!! It was Halloween and she was wrapped in white guaze/adheshive tape...a complete "mummy" from head to shoes!! She was full of fun...so sweet and kind to everyone. It was such a joy to know her and to work with her those years at Marion County Shirt Company. There's no doubt where her lovely soul is today, but Jimmie Ruth was an angel even here on earth.

Aunt Jimmie Ruth was one of the most genuine and caring people in our family. When growing up, and visiting family in Arkansas, I always felt welcomed by her, Uncle Jimmy, and Lisa. I enjoyed spending time in their home! I know she is in heaven now with Uncle Jimmy! RIP Aunt Jimmie Ruth! You will be missed!
