Jeanerette, LA Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Mr. Marshall, Dwayne, and PaulaI have the fondest memories of Mrs. Ruth growing up and participating in bowling. She was one of the original bowlers and not only as a youth bowler, but in the adult league, she was one of the lady bowlers that I wanted to be like. Her high back swing but smooth release at the line......always impressive. She helped motivate me to be a better bowler. Also, no matter how she was bowling, she always had a smile and encouraging words.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I just think, man the bowling team in Heaven just gained one heck of a bowler.
