Ruth was highly social, she has been the coordinator of the Nelson Senior Citizen's Center. Rev. Dr. Stephen Berry said at Ruth's funeral service that Ruth invited people to go to events in which they normally would not have gone. Her sense of humor was sweet and has been commented on by many people for many years. After you visited with Ruth, you left refreshed and chuckling.
