Ruthie who spent her life in the Palo Verde - Buckeye area was known to many as mother, grandmother, great and great great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She loved her family greatly and enjoyed uncovering the ancestry and history of the family generations. This often involved stopping at libraries, graveyards and county seats during road trips; thus documenting the family's legacy.
She loved music and playing the organ at church each week. She shared her joy of the piano with many students, teaching piano lessons more than thirty years. Even last week, she enjoyed giving her great granddaughter a piano lesson.
Most of all, Ruthie loved her lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Each day she spent time in God's word, prayed faithfully for her family, and shared her faith with all who were willing to listen. Those around her have been blessed by her faithful walk with the Lord.
She is survived by four sons Wood (Jan), Reuben Wood (Carrie) and one daughter, many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews and one sister.
