Tributes
"I will always remember Ruth as "Grandma Bennetts" - the sweet lady at Woodmere who always had a hug and a smile to share. Thinking of you all during this time. Janie (Jackson) Milliron"
"What a dear sweet woman Ruth was, memories from when I attended Mona Shores where she worked and then later at church of God. Remember our ladies group meetings where she was always the life of the group. Her hosting youth group activities and especially the good bye party for Ken and Kris Fitch when they were leaving to become missionaries. Prayers for the family as they rejoice in knowing this special woman is reunited with the love of her life and resting in the arms of her savior. Georgia and Ron Brandenburg"
