Ruth loved her family with all her heart, and especially delighted in the love and ‘antics’ of the many great-grandchildren that blessed her life. She also loved everything Huskers, and was an avid fan of the Kansas City Royals and Kansas City Chiefs.
Ruth’s greatest legacy is her love of her Savior, Jesus Christ, and that love was evident to every person she ever knew and loved. She would ask that we not mourn her passing, but instead rejoice knowing she celebrates eternal life in heaven and that those who trust in the Lord, will one day be reunited with her there.
