Ruth was blessed with a beautiful family. She enjoyed them dearly and adored her grand and great grandchildren. Anyone who knew Ruth, knew she was talented in many ways. She loved her plants and could grow anything. She loved to crochet, color, cook, read her Bible, and sharing her vast knowledge of plants. Ruth was a very active and longtime member of First Presbyterian Church. She leaves this world behind to be united with her loved one who passed before her. She was greeted by her beloved husband and they both rest in the arms of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The family would like to thank the staff at The Oaks, especially Toni Hutchisson, the staff of St. Catherine’s Hospice, and the staff at Terrebonne General Medical Center, Dr. Russell Henry, and Dr. Prejean at CIS.
