Ruth's Story

Ruth passed away on December 5, 2007. Our deepest sympathies to Cindy and the rest of her family!

I was born in 1920 and lived through the Depression. I graduated from school at age 16 and

got married just before my husband was drafted into WWII. We had four children.

In 1973, I buried my husband who passed away due to lung cancer.

I have been healthy most of my life. It wasn't until I was in a car accident on the

way to the doctor that I became extremely ill.

I live with my daughter because I require assistance with my everyday activities. I am able

to move around the house with the use of an oxygen tank.

My granddaughter thought I might receive the same blessings that she did

when she was featured.
