Fayetteville, AR Sunday, November 13, 2011 I am so sorry to see Ms. Ruth has passed away. I will always cherish her memory as a sweet woman who helped me with Tammy's fifth grade classroom at Drew Central. I got to know her that year and we became friends who had nice visits each time we ran in to each other. Ruth then became friends with my mother, Sue Jenkins, who thought the world of her. I pray the Lord give you strength and serenity. God Bless you all.Carl & Chris kennedy
