So sorry to have lost such a family treasure. Aunt Ruth was always so sweet and soft spoken. About two years ago I had the best visit with her. We looked at old family pictures and she told me stories about when they were growing up. Sad to have lost her but happy that she has now been reunited with the rest of the Scoby bunch. She was really a blessing to all of us. My prayers are with you all.
We mourn your loss but rejoice in her transition into heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time and in the days to come. May God bless. The Lawrence Family, (Dori Renee Scoby)
I met Aunt Ruth, when I was a little girl. My family went to the same church. She was a wonderful lady. Our loss is heaven”s gain. Oh, what a party is going on in heaven tonight. With my deepest sorrows to your family.
I’m so sorry to hear of Ruth’s passing. She was a very dear friend & Scrabble buddy. I’m thing of & praying for the family. Especially Lonnie, since he was in the same nursing home as she was.
One of a kind. Sweet and Loving. I could not have asked for a better Aunt. I loved it when she would tell stories about my Dad and growing up together. A fine Christian women. I will miss her great laugh and smile.
